First community BBQ a great success
Thanks to everyone who attended AGRA’s first free community BBQ. The afternoon at Arcadia Community Hall and surrounds was well-attended and very well-received. There was plentiful fabulous food and lots of conversation with community members catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Thanks also go to the volunteers who assisted the AGRA committee in making the afternoon a relaxing and rewarding way to spend a Sunday!
“We should do this again…!” – Yes, indeed.
