Parkes Phoenix

Editors Note…

April 12, 2017 By Maggi Barnard


Dear Easter Bunny,

Could you please fill my eggs with health and happiness and deliver them to every- one that I love?

Easter is not only a symbol of hope, renewal and new life, but also an opportunity to spend quality time with your loved ones and sharing lots of chocolate of course!

Whether you are camping or spending time with family, it’s a good time to take stock of the year, to reset your resolutions or get in- spiration to do something completely new.

There are so many opportunities around us for doing good, helping each other, excelling at something you love or contributing to our wonderful community. When we ask people why they enjoy living in Parkes, so many say the community is what makes it a special place.

In this issue we celebrate achievements: the award for PJL on the front page and Cath Swansbra’s amazing cake decorating talent on page 5.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Easter!

Maggi Barnard Editor
