On Saturday June 30th Orange Legacy held their 70th Anniversary Luncheon at the Ex Services Club.  Legacy supports widows and children effected by the lost of a partner or parent in the Armed forces. This year Orange Legacy raised $120,000 for this valuable work. In recent years the focus of support has shifted to support more and more school aged children that have been disadvantage by the loss of a parent.
