Congratulations to our valued sponsor who yesterday officially opened the doors to Kloses Foodland in Williamstown.
Such a wonderful new addition to our town that’s been a long time in the making. A true reflection of what can be achieved with the combined efforts and tenacity of community.
How fitting on the day that our Life Member, Lyn Venning, having worked tirelessly behind the scenes for many years, was invited to be the first customer through the doors.
