- In 2003, I assisted the Friends of Parks Inc. steering committee organising this event:
'Banbabanbalyanendi' - Aboriginal Culture - Getting to Know You
The aims of this event were to bring together local Friends of Parks groups and the local Aboriginal community and to assist with mutual understanding and reconciliation. It was held on the October Full Moon Night (10 October 2003) at the Warriparinga Living Kaurna Cultural Centre.
I acted as Minute Secretary for several committee meetings prior to the event, and was able to provide advice and contact information which enabled the event to be run successfully.
