editor’sletter I am so excited about my new grandson, Lorcan who arrived a week after Father’s Day. His name is ancient Celtic meaning “little fierce one”, although he has yet to show us any sign of being fierce, he is so meek and docile, but I am sure that will change. Our granddaughter, Aaliyah is very impressed with her cousin and has said that she is keen to read him stories and tuck him into bed. I am also looking forward to that! This month in Your Child in Hume, you can read about how to encourage your child to have self control, learn some some hints to help get through the allergy season, choose from 80 different activities to engage in with your child and even read a lovely story told by a turtle. If you work in the City of Hume, you can get five workmates together to form a soccer team and register to play in the Twilight Soccer Tournament on Sunday, October 23. The City of Hume is providing a spit roast and salads after the game for players and their families. This is a free event and should be wonderful for the whole family. Read more details in the What’s On pages. If you have teenagers, you may also take advantage of the fabulous skate parks in Craigieburn, Jacana, Greenvale and Broadmeadows. Check out the addresses in What’s On. There is always so much to do in Hume and if you have an event that you would like me to feature, please ring or email the details. I would love photos as well. It is Grand Final season, so if you have to purchase trophies for your club or school, call Anthea at Associated Trophy Distributors on 9460 3322 for all your prizes. She has everything you will need for your presentations. Blessings
Alison
