The Worshipful Master, Deputy Master, Officers and Brethren of Ballyknockan Purple Heroes LOL 1057 extend their sincere thanks to everyone who attended our Big Breakfast this morning.

It was fantastic to welcome so many new faces and enjoy a morning of fellowship together.

We also wish to acknowledge and thank our Worshipful District Master, District Officers, members of our local WLOL lodges, and all visiting brethren for their valued support.

A special added surprise was the attendance of Jim Shannon MP for Strangford and Michelle McIlveen MLA, whose presence was greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the generosity of those present, the Dementia NI donation bucket raised ยฃ52. This event is always a special day for the lodge, bringing together our families, friends, and community.

Finally, a huge thankโ€‘you to everyone who helped prepare and serve the breakfasts. Without your hard work and support, an event like this simply wouldnโ€™t be possible.

Keep an eye out for the Newtownards Chronicle next week as you may see a few known faces.
