Fun days bring families together

DANDENONG and Keysborough Souvlakihut hosted successful Family Fun Days last weekend to encourage local families to spend time with one another.
The campaign was spearheaded by AFL legend and father of two, Anthony Koutoufides, who wanted to reinstate the family meal and encourage Melbourne families to spend more time together in support of National Families Week 2009.
“Coming from a Greek background, the importance of family meals has been ingrained in my psyche from a young age,” Mr Koutoufides said.
“As a busy dad, I relish the opportunity to spend dinner time with my family, so I wanted to do something to remind people how important it is to put family first,” he said.
Both Family Fun Days were on Sunday 17 May and included circus stage shows, ballooning, face painting and some fun fairground attractions.
