Hello everyone,
I would like to wish all dads, grandfathers, and special people a very Happy Father’s Day on Sunday. I do hope you get spoilt by your loved ones with their presence and presents. I am also aware that Father’s Day is a very sad day for some people, especially to those families that have lost precious fathers or grandfathers over the last few years. To these families, hold each other close and think of all the wonderful times you had with your fathers or grandfathers. I personally will be spending the day with my family, celebrating with the new fathers of my two grandchildren this year.
I would personally like to thank Lisa Cleland, Rachel Jeffreys, Claire Eden, Hannah Eden and their wonderful committee who have made the gifts for our Father’s Day Stall this year. I would also like to extend a big thank-you to the parents who assisted with the selling of gifts on Thursday morning. The children loved their selection of gifts and were so excited to show me what they bought. One child said, “I bought my dad so many presents because I love him so much!”
