June 7th, 2022Happy Birthday Lorna

When Tanya Bull won a competition for a $150 voucher for Sault Restaurant, to take her mum, Lorna Thompson, out for her 80th birthday, she had no idea it would be another two years before the event would take place.
The Local, in conjunction with Sault, ran the competition back in May 2020 – just before the world closed down pretty much for two years. Entrants were asked to describe in a few words why they hoped to win the voucher.
Tanya, who works at Springs Medical Centre, wrote to say she had not been able to visit her parents because of lockdowns and wanted to take her mum out for a birthday treat.
Late last month, Tanya was finally able to take Lorna to Sault, and celebrate her 82nd birthday instead.
“Thank you to Sault for your incredible service and helping my mum celebrate her birthday – you went above and beyond to make her day super special,” Tanya said.
“To The Local, thank you for the voucher which we won back in 2020 on Mother’s Day, it was lovely to finally use it.”
The Local editor Donna Kelly said she was really pleased the visit to Sault had finally happened.
“We just want to wish Lorna a very happy birthday from us. For her 80th, 81st and now 82nd!”
