Community comes together to celebrate 40th anniversary
Abbeyfield Great Missenden and District Society (AGMDS) celebrated its ruby anniversary in August, with a party for residents and their families, staff, trustees and others involved in bringing about its success over the past 40 years.
Guests were treated to a singer and a celebratory cake to mark the occasion.
Resident Sheila described it as “a day to remember,” while the daughter of resident Christine said, “It was a great afternoon with wonderful entertainment, lovely food, and drinks. My mum really enjoyed herself and I’m sure all the other residents did too. It was lovely to see them all joining in with the singing.”
AGMDS trustee, Pam Fensome, added, “The residents had a fabulous day, and it was great to celebrate our anniversary in such style in our beautiful garden.”
Abbeyfield House, the Society’s sheltered housing scheme for 15 residents, hosted the event, which was also attended by local MP for Mid Buckinghamshire, Greg Smith.
