NEW COMMUNITY CENTRE TO OPEN IN HOLROYD AREA
June 2013
Holroyd City Council will be celebrating the opening of a new Community Centre on the corner of Centenary road and Merrylands road on the 25th of this month.  The Centre is hoped to provide a welcome place for all residents of the community to meet up and enjoy daily and weekly activities including craft classes and courses like English for Beginners.  The Centre will also be available for bookings by groups to use as a venue for meetings, dances or other events.  On the day there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony by the Lord Mayor of Sydney at 11am followed by family friendly festivities including face painting, a petting zoo and a children's fashion show to be held later in the day.
