Our Second Family First
Event – A Huge Success!

Even though the gates were not scheduled to open until 7:00 pm. at Storybook Gardens, members began arriving at the park as early as 5:30 pm. Nearly 300 members and their guests joined us in celebrating several milestones. Storybook Gardens, London’s #1 family landmark celebrated its 50th anniversary, while credit union celebrated our 60th anniversary.

The weather cooperated and the rain that threatened all evening did not materialize allowing the members and their guests to enjoy the evening’s activities. The splash pads were a huge hit as was the Birds of Prey show and the seal feeding. We were fortunate to be the first group to try out the brand new ferris wheel on its first day of operations.

London Civic will be donating $5 per person to ReForest London, for everyone that attended the evening.

We also had an amazing response to our survey that was distributed to all those in attendance. Over half of the people in attendance responded to the survey and the responses were amazing. Most wanted us to repeat the evening’s event at Storybook again in the future.

The winner of our draw was Fraser Cunningham. Fraser takes home with him $100 in gift certificates to several restaurants.

Photos from the evening are posted below. Keep a keen eye out for our next Family First Event!
