An indication of the increasing influence of the Shed Cluster on the Coast was the recent invitation to speak to a gathering of fathers at the Lisarow Public School Father’s Day Breakfast.
This provided an opportunity to spread the word about the part Sheds play in helping men appreciate the important role they have in our community and the development in Sheds and their programs in Gosford and Wyong.
Our short message was supported by 3 other speakers. One a long-term commuter who now realizes what he, and his children, have missed during his extended time away from home. A family counselor who spoke on how children see their fathers and the importance of family interaction and, a Dr telling his story about depression and the work of the Black Dog Institute.
Three rather somber presentations were balanced by a much more positive presentation concentrating on the great times men have in our Sheds and the benefits flowing from many relationships that develop.
