Village residents make their debut

Nine Peninsula Village residents were presented to former Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews at a "debutante" ball held on Tuesday, May 3.

"It was an excellent night with the residents being presented to Marie Andrews," said Peninsula Village leisure and lifestyle manager Ms Paula Newman.

"Originally, they were going to be presented to new Member for Gosford Cr Chris Holstein but unfortunately he was taking office in the city on the Tuesday and Marie kindly offered to assist us instead.

"Our debutante dresses were beautiful and the Village hairdresser worked her magic making them all look their very best."

Nursing staff volunteered to work as makeup artists and the CEO Mr Shane Neaves, board chairman Mr Darrell Pannowitz, male volunteers and male staff gave up their time to partner the "debutantes".

"It was a wonderful night with everyone feeling very special," said Ms Newman.
