09.01.2022 2020, what a year to be alive! We started off the year with a bang with all of the great local businesses supporting us with our very succesful "Shave to Save" campaign where Christian and Liam bravely shaved their hair off! Then... Covid19 hit It forced everyone into their homes, and we were busier than ever working day in and out to ensure everyone had their essential medications and supplies. We ran out of items we never thought we would - hand sanitizer, masks and ...toilet paper. As a community, we have grown stronger than ever! We are so proud to be part of the Port Stephens community, a wonderful community. Thank you all for your support in 2020. We look forward to a bigger and better 2021 and wish you and all of your families a safe and happy New year!
