Manningham Hello and welcome to September 2016. Finally Spring is here and I am so looking forward to the warm weather it brings. This month is a very busy month for me especially with the school holidays just around the corner and it seems like there are so many birthdays around this time of year. If you are looking for a venue to book your child’s next birthday party look no further than Little Kitchen on Lilian where they host party’s that include cookie decorating classes and High Tea. Discover some school holiday fun on the 22nd and 23rd of September come and see Mr Biscuit 11am at Bulleen Plaza and on the 27th of September where you can enjoy a fun filled day with Animals on the Move also at Bulleen Plaza all details for these two events are on page 32.

September does not only mean its football finals time but more importantly we celebrate Father's day which this year falls on Sunday the 4th September. Why not spoil dad and take him out locally for Breakfast , lunch or dinner. Here are some suggestions Templestowe Hotel, Cherry Hill Hotel, Degani Templestowe and Warrandyte Cafe. All these venues are family friendly so you can relax and enjoy this special day with your dads. Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers and Grandfathers. May your day be filled with happiness and love.

I hope you all have a great month, enjoy reading our September Issue.If you have not done so yet please don't forget to LIKE US on facebook which is also a great way to keep in touch with local events and businesses.
