The winter has been long, cold and wet with little sunshine-hopefully spring and summer will bring sunshine and easterly breezes which will bring smiles to our faces.
With July being the time for Association membership renewals it has been heartening to see a large number of new members-thank you for joining and supporting the Association. Hopefully you will take the opportunity to participate in the activities organised by various groups. Remember if you have any new ideas or thoughts please share them with us.
The Community Support Centre project is almost complete thanks to the dedication of Paul Toohey and his team. Next time you are down at the Hall have a look out the back. You will be amazed.
The front of the Hall has also had some attention with Mary Knaggs using her professional skills to obtain a grant and Council approval to restore the War Memorial in beautiful sandstone-it is looking so good and does our community proud.
So much can be achieved when grant monies become available through the persistent from people like Mary and Paul-we should be very grateful.
Perhaps our next projects should be traffic and rockpool safe access-watch this space!!
Springtime brings many and varied opportunities to socialise and enjoy some fun activities. You are encouraged to support any if not all of these activities-Sing-along-Song, Trivia Night, Celtic Concert or Jazz in the Arboretum, Community Christmas Dinner and Christmas Carols
Many thanks to those community members who give up their time to organise these events for our enjoyment.
Hopefully you find this edition of The Gem both useful and informative due to the efforts of the Editor-many thanks Marg Westcott.
