AFTER having to postpone a couple of dates, the party to celebrate Eventide Lutheran Homes’ Diamond Jubilee, commemorating 60 years of Christian aged care in Hamilton, is finally going ahead on the weekend of October 22and 23.

An event had been planned for 2021, and then another in March this year, but after a couple of false starts, the planning committee is pleased to announce they are able to bring everyone together at last, including the Eventide Hamilton Village and the community for an event open to the public on Eventide’s grounds.
