That is a plug for them, indeed! It is great that Joyce could attend this great function. It is great that she is reportedly larger than life and every day is seen at the local bakery having a cup of coffee and a cake. She lives independently at Mill Court Homes. I have visited Mill Court; it is a very lovely establishment. She was honoured in 2013 as Wakefield Regional Council's Australia Day Citizen of the Year. She also volunteers for Meals on Wheels, and she celebrated 35 years of volunteering with them in 2011. She is certainly a very active citizen, and we would like to wish her a happy 97th birthday from the Australian parliament.
