Today, (7/12) a very special couple have been married 72 years!!!

The wife is seriously ill and can't leave her bed... so to help cheer her up and to celebrate their anniversary, I'm inviting all of you - yes all of you - to come and sing Christmas carols on their front lawn tonight.

We will meet at 7.15pm on Mount View Rd near Heather Place. We will then walk together to their house and sing for about 15 minutes accompanied by the Salvation Army band.

Please share this invite with anyone you think might be interested and particularly those who live in the area.

If anyone can't find us on the night, my number is 027 2853625.

Thanks!
