Pretty disappointing. “Karen and her team are 100% community focused. I strongly encourage you to Vote for Karen and her team to keep community interests at the forefront of Council’s agenda for the next four years.” Helen McLucas ex-Deputy Mayor and Councillor 2010-2017 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60e3b135cfa080037b2ebcee/t/619b77636308b23a278c6953/1637578620713/image0-1.jpeg Testimonials - “I can’t speak highly enough of Maryanne and Karen’s assistance with matters specific to the running of our Club.
