On Thursday the 11th of this month, I had the pleasure of attending Lorna Craney's 100th birthday at Carinity Summit Cottages in Mount Morgan. Lorna marked this magnificent milestone in style. She started the celebrations with a show-stopping cruise around town in a cherry red Corvette. The occasion was marked by a simple morning tea with friends and families to celebrate her remarkable life.

Earlier in the month, I also had the pleasure of attending a tree-planting ceremony for Eileen Murchie to celebrate her 100th birthday. A tree was planted in the Gladstone botanic gardens to commemorate joining the elite centenarian group. I'm sorry to say Elaine passed away not long after this ceremony. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and close friends.
