Mosman Local Paul Tavuzzi – A Special Day

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—We introduced the Seniors' Stories writing competition in 2013 as a way of recognising and valuing the experiences of NSW seniors and building connections between the young and old. This latest volume celebrates the differences among us, with this year's authors writing about diversity in immediate families, in their heritage, among friends, work colleagues, cultures, food travels, plant life, celebrations, sport, birdlife, and much more. I want to acknowledge Mosman local Paul Tavuzzi, whose story A Special Day is featured in this year's volume. A remarkably detailed tale that intertwines the Australian story of diversity with a rich immersion of various food and drinks. Congratulations, Paul, on having your account published in this year's volume. I know that your family will be very proud. I want to acknowledge all of this year's contributors to the NSW Seniors Stories, and I encourage everyone who hasn't read any of these stories to do so. Whatever your age, I hope this beautiful collection of short stories can inspire you.
