We want to extend a warm welcome to all those who have come to help us celebrate our birthday bash. After all the months of preparation and planning, it is heartwarming to see such a great response from former residents, relatives, old neighbors and friends. The Council wish to pay special homage to the centennial committee and commend them for the wonderful job they have done to pull this off. So when you see one of our volunteers, don’t be afraid to pat them on the back and say thank you for a job well done. We have 3 days of fun planned, with activities for all ages, so no excuses, – go out and have some fun!
