50th Anniversary Book

17th December 2019

The Anniversary Function, Gawler Community Retirement Homes (GCRH) was able to finalise its 50th Anniversary Book and launched it in December 2019. Former long-time Board Member, Humphrey George was on hand to officially release it. He was a strong supporter of the book and the need to document some of the history.

GCRH thanks Stan Roulston (a GCRH resident) for his efforts in compiling the book. He put in a lot of hours to ensure it all came together. The design of the book was done by David Ward, son of GCRH residents John & Judy Ward; he has produced a quality book. Thanks also, to Teresa Lane from Property Lane Images for new photos included.
