NATIONAL SORRY DAY 2009 Theme:  SHARING A JOURNEY OF HEALING

COMMEMORATE NATIONAL SORRY DAY & CELEBRATE THE APOLOGY

Share Morning Tea or Lunch as we all Share a Journey of Healing Together 

The Historic National Apology initiated a new step toward the healing 
needed for Stolen Generations, their families and Communities. 
 
It also united Australians through out the nation in a shared Journey of 
Healing. The National Sorry Day Committee invites you to join the Stolen 
Generations and thousands of other Australians who will gather through 
out the country and overseas for Australia's National Sorry Day. 

Schools, Tertiary Education Facilities, Community and Business Groups,
Spiritual and Faith Institutions, Government Departments and many others 
will particpate in events and activities to acknowledge and commemorate 
the removal of thousands of First Nations Children of Australia through 
the racially discriminatory removal policies of past governments. 

In the spirit of the historic National Apology to the Stolen Generations 
on February 13th 2008, the National Sorry Day Committee invites all
Australians to come together and to share a morning tea or lunch as a way
to commemorate National Sorry Day with the Stolen Generations and to
Celebrate the Apology.
