On Thursday 19 June, Friends of Northcote hosted the 10th annual Literary Talkfest event. It was a wonderful evening of discussion and reflection of a theme that runs through each of the authors' works and resonated with everyone in the audience.
Our expert panel, Carly Findlay, Bebe Oliver and Jessica Knight, facilitated by NHS parent and author Ruth Clare, held us all captivated for the evening as they discussed their personal journeys and what belonging meant to them.
The evening also gave our NHS parent community an opportunity to meet and mingle and get their copies of the books signed by the authors! Thank you to Fairfield Books who continue to support this event each year by coming on site and selling the authors’ books.
A big thanks to Black Inc, Hardie Grant Egmont, and Magabala publishers, as well as local business Terra Madre and also Coonawarra Estate for their kind donations to this event. We were able to run a very successful Silent Auction, raising further funds for the NHS Thrive Fund.
A huge thank you to the Friends of Northcote committee for all of their work in the planning and execution of this wonderful event. We are so grateful to have engaged and committed parents who allow us to offer these events each year!
