The Spences Bridge Community Club renovations grant project is almost completed now, just a few things to wrap up with the greening project. Thanks so much to the TNRD and our director Steve Rice for assisting the Club in securing this grant for the much needed improvements on our beloved Clemes Hall. The improvement NDI grant project is now underway, and I’m very pleased to say that the stage has arrived!

Elders Council making plans
Although summer is in full swing and folks are busy in their gardens or on holidays, the New Horizons Elders Council continues to meet and plan for events for the community.
The latest was a meeting at the riverside. Wouldn’t you know, the only rainy day in three weeks I think! But several of us met and enjoyed a camp fire and shared some food and stories and took the time to voice our appreciation of each other. Watch for posters or information in the mail for the next event!
