It was good to have our Red Cross friends from Grenfell and Morongla Creek celebrating with us thought it was disappointing that at the last minute the speaker from Dubbo was not able to attend.
We were glad to have Mayor, Councillor Bill West speak and Cowra SIngers entertain and sing happy birthday.
There was a display of activities and a cake, cut by member Elvine Elliott-Horsfall, who was soon to celebrate her 105th birthday.
