Annette and Cathy shared the administration load until Cathy became established in her role. Annette retired from her role as Director at the Care Centre around May 2000. Annette had guided the Care Centre through its remarkable first seven years of life and development with skill, good humour and an abiding and strong faith. Having started as one of the founders of the Centre, she served as a volunteer, acting Director and then Director and has always retained a great interest in its progress.
