19th February, 2025.
I had the pleasure of visiting Mrs Evelyn Cannon in early January to personally congratulate her on reaching the incredible milestone of 100 years. As a loving mother and great‑great-grandmother, Evelyn has given her family the gift and love of classical music, nurturing a deep interest in the Arts and helping to make a significant impact on the Wollondilly community. During my visit with Evelyn, in preparation for the upcoming week of celebrations with family and friends, I brought along a collection of certificates to present to her. These included certificates from notable figures such as the Governor of New South Wales, the Premier of New South Wales, and the Speaker of the NSW Legislative Assembly. My certificate will be included in this wonderful collection, which features His Majesty The King. It was a pleasure meeting Evelyn and hearing about her sister's own centennial celebration in the UK. Evelyn, we wish you the happiest of birthdays. I hope you continue to enjoy good health and happiness in the years to come.
