50th Anniversary 1967 “Yes Vote” Referendum Gala Dinner

LOOKING FORWARD - LOOKING BACK

The Logan City First Nation Peoples Coalition are writing to request your support towards the celebration of an upcoming historic and significant event which is taking place in Logan City.

May 2017 will mark the 50th Anniversary of the 1967 “Yes” vote when 90% of Australian voters chose “Yes” to amend the Australian Constitution to:

  • Count Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the census, and
  • Give the Australian Government power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

To mark this occasion we are hosting a dinner on Friday 26th May 2017 at Logan Entertainment Centre, Wembley Road, LOGAN CENTRAL commencing at 6.00pm. The event will include guests of all cultures which make up our Logan City. We also want to share the culture of the first nation’s people which has been handed down from our ancestors, so we can hand it down to our future generations.

Your support and participation would greatly be appreciated, for an event which to most, would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand yourawareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture which is rich in history and has a footprint of over 50,000 years old.
