Dear Residents, 

Thank you for joining our 3rd Harfield Village Dream Clean! 

  

It’s our AGM!!

This year we will not have outside speakers…
Our 3 Civic organisations will be chatting about their roles in the Village. They will be speaking for 5 minutes each…

The rest of the evening will be for conversations, getting to know each other, asking questions and finding out how you can get involved if you wish to do so.

If you would like to join the HVCID Committee please let me know!
