We recently celebrated the birthdays of two of our valued volunteers, Mark Porter and Peter McAlister. It was a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge their ongoing dedication, friendship, and the many hours they generously contribute to our community.

A special milestone was reached by Peter, who celebrated his 90th birthday. Peter's remarkable commitment, enthusiasm, and willingness to lend a hand continue to inspire those around him.

We are grateful for the contributions both Mark and Peter make and were delighted to mark the occasion with them. We wish them both a very happy birthday and many more years of good health and happiness. 🎉🎂🎈
