On Sunday 11th March, Braerannoch had a party to celebrate the house's thirty-seventh Anniversary and all those who have lived in Braerannoch were invited.
As Braerannoch was the community's founding house in 1975 as gifted to L'Arche amazingly by Elizabeth Buckley, it meant that a few core members who currently live in Grianan and MacTalla such as Lilias, Fiona and Mark Mitchell have all lived in Braerannoch before their current houses opened.
Everyone gathered together to enjoy a tasty meal of Macaroni Cheese perfectly prepared by Elissa one of the newer Canadian Assistants as well as the most high calorie chocolate cakes baked by Michael who is notorious in Braerannoch for his cake baking skills!
The team had also put together a fantastic powerpoint slideshow which included pictures from when Braerannoch opened as the first L'Arche house up until the latest German Assistant, Luise, arrived. Below you can see a picture of Elizabeth Buckley and Ian Cameron one of our first core members who has now sadly passed away.
After the slideshow everyone joined in to share their favourite stories about Braerannoch and the core members past and present. This turned out to be very emotional with a lot of laughs and also some tears especially from Susie Stewart as she shared her memories of James and Cathol.(Pictured below).
HAPPY ANINIVERSARY BRAERANNOCH!
