MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Welcome to the April Edition
of Horizons!
I am excited to share that the Evergreen
Life Care Annual ANZAC Ceremony will be
going ahead this year. It will be great to
hold our first official event since the peak
of the COVID-19 Pandemic.*
The Lodge Kitchen Refurbishment now has a confirmed start
date of Monday 12th April. We are looking forward to providing
you with regular updates on the progress of this project.
Easter is also almost upon us.
The Board and I wish you a very happy and safe Easter. Please be sure to advise of any dietary
requirements for morning tea.
May you receive an Easter Egg or two also!
Take Care!
