Famealy Day

Thanks so much to my friend, Shellane, for sending this to me. She saw my feature on “Serious Dining at Heart2Heart” and felt that it was fitting . I will write it here again as not everyone saw it as it came out only in the email updates and not in the website:

Heart2Heart really takes dining and meals seriously. Whether it be with family or friends, each meal is a dining experience. You must have noticed this with all the Foodie entries. I remember when we were kids, my parents made sure that everyday we had to have dinner together because it is the only time of the day we are complete as a family. Up to this day, I follow that rule with my own family as it is the only time we get to talk and share the events of the day. Every special occassion is celebrated with a meal – whether it be in the house or in a restaurant.

Even with friends, eating together is a serious occassion…. even if it means setting up a dining table in the bedroom. It is a time to share good food, good conversation and just enjoying each other’s company.

Heart2Heart encourages FAMEALY Day to be everyday, not only on September 22 but as often as you can. Thank you to Monde Nissin for supporting children and families. Heart2Heart supports companies that promote good things. Take time out to watch the short commercials in between. I love it! Great marketing campaign but more important is the message!

On September 22, 2008 (Monday), celebrate Famealy Day and join hundreds of parents who will come home to have dinner with their children. Famealy Day, a nationwide call to celebrate family dining every 4th Monday of September, serves as a reminder that eating together is a simple but effective means for parents to raise happy, healthy and successful children. This event also coincides with the first day of DSWD’s National Family Week which runs every fourth week of September.
