Coffee Day at Fairview Lifestyle Village –19th August 2014

A wonderful day of music was had by one and all and held in the main lounge of the lovely Fairview Lifestyle Village in Albany. Both the residents, visitors and members of the North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club made up a goodly-sized audience for a most relaxing day of good conversation and wonderful music. It was great to have the cafeteria available with a great choice of light lunches to choose.
A big thank you to the management of Fairview Lifestyle Village and to all the players and attendees for making the day so memorable. A big thank you also to our Events Manager, Diane Lyons, for arranging the venue. Also, thanks to our Secretary, Delyse Whorwood for assisting at the information desk. As always, our guru photographer, Dennis Lyons, did a great job with the photos.
