Kay Gibson, a long term committee member at Abbeyfield Fulwood Society, retired at the beginning of October this year.
Kay has been a hardworking member at Fulwood, taking a leading role in introducing new residents and managing their advertising. She will be sorely missed.
The house celebrated the occasion with an afternoon tea for residents and friends and Kay was presented with an Abbeyfield Long Standing Achievement Certificate, together with both flowers and wine as recognition for her hard work and commitment over the past 20 years.
We send her every good wish for the future.
