We kicked of the occasion with a delicious finger food lunch, followed by a more semi-formal evening function where we were entertained by the amazing Jackie Clark. We also have a couple more exciting functions planned.
A special Pioneers Lunch will be held on 31st August for all the residents that moved into Acacia Cove during 1998 and 1999. What an amazing privilege to still have 20 of those first Residents with us!
