Welcome to the New Year at Eastin!
Welcome back from our winter festivities! I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable season with family and friends. This was my first family Christmas without my father, and we missed him hugely, but thought and talked of him often, especially about how he would fall asleep while opening presents!
As we head into the middle of January and February we have lots of exciting events happening here at Eastin. Make sure you are marking your calendar as information comes home!
