Yesterday, our team gathered for a morning tea to celebrate and farewell our legendary postie, Silke, who retires at the end of the month.

Thank you, Silke, for your years of consistent kindness, hard work, and friendly smiles along the way. You have been such a valued part of our community, and you will be greatly missed.

Wishing you all the very best for a wonderful and well-deserved retirement! 💐
