Love was definitely in the air at Waterloo Park Day Centre this February! They threw a joint Valentine’s Day and 80th birthday party for one of their amazing members, Tony Crosby.
A Birthday Wish:
Tony, a familiar face at the centre and part of New Directions’ Shared Lives, mentioned to his Shared Lives family that he was having a birthday bash with all his friends and family at Waterloo Park. While this came as a bit of a surprise to the Waterloo team, they seized the day and started planning a fantastic party.
Celebrating Big and Sharing the Love:
On February 14th, Waterloo Park was transformed into a party paradise. Tony marked his 80th birthday surrounded by loved ones, enjoying a yummy buffet lunch and some entertaining fun thanks to a performance by Nicky, a friend of the centre. He also had the company of some of his Shared Lives family, making the celebration all the better.
A Longstanding Connection:
Tony has been part of the New Directions for over 50 years, starting back in the 1960s at South Hub (known back then as a training centre). Seeing Tony celebrate this milestone brought immense joy to everyone at Waterloo.
More Reasons to Smile:
To add to the festivities, Waterloo Park hosted a fun raffle, spreading extra love and joy to all attendees. Congratulations to the lucky winners, Lesley Hand, Mel Evans, Bill Stock, and Lillie Wilmot! And a big shoutout to Lily Conroy for guessing the name of the centre’s adorable mascot, Popsicle!
A Big Thank You:
We want to send a huge thank you to everyone who joined Waterloo Park’s celebration and helped make it a day to remember.
