The momentous occasion was marked on the 25th January with a birthday morning tea and a visit from former Randwick Mayor and Member for Coogee Bruce Notley-Smith who presented Eva with a special congratulatory letter.
Eva also received letters from Her Majesty the Queen, Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Governor-General Ms Quentin Bryce, Governor of New South Wales Marie Bashir, Premier of NSW Barry O’Farrell, Member for Wentworth Malcolm Turnbull and a Mazel Tov Certificate from David Freeman AM, President of Montefiore Home.
Eva was born in Budapest Hungary and throughout her time in Australia has had a full life filled with family and friends.
Eva’s birthday was celebrated with a huge birthday cake and as it was on the eve of Australia day a performance by the Bunyip Bush Band. Family, Residents and staff sang along to familiar tunes and enjoyed the recognition of all of the Home’s January birthdays. Eva is a much-loved member of the Home and in the three years she has been here it is clear Eva has made very many special friends.
