Imagine! A day to celebrate the family. I like it!! Maybe we could plan a family gathering next year?

In the meantime, here is an explanation of the logo:

"A heart sheltered by a roof linked by another heart, to symbolize life and love in a home where one finds warmth, caring, security, togetherness, tolerance and acceptance - that is the symbolism conveyed by the emblem of the International Year of the Family (IYF), 1994.

The open design is meant to indicate continuity with a hint of uncertainty.

The brushstroke, with its open line root, completes an abstract symbol representing the complexity of the family."

I like that too. Shall we celebrate families on May 15th (and every day): call one you are in close contact with and tell them how awesome they are. Do something special for a family, just because you feel like it. Take a moment to lend a hand where a hand would be helpful.

Thanks.
