President’s Christmas Message to Members 2024
December 16, 2024

Dear Members,

As 2024 draws to a close, I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our incredible staff, directors, and members for making this year so memorable. It was a joy to see so many new faces at our events, in the library, and at our annual Christmas party.

A special thank you goes to our library team for their dedication to creating engaging book displays, to our hardworking staff who make our member events possible, and to the members who generously lead and support our member groups.

To all our members, whether new or longstanding, I wish you a joyous and relaxing New Year as we look forward to the exciting and innovative program the team has planned for 2025.

This season, let’s take a moment to show kindness, tolerance, and friendship to those around us, keeping in mind that many are facing challenges at this time of year.

If you’d like to get in touch, please feel free to ask the staff for my contact details.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

Warmest regards,

Winsome Allen

President
