Orange City Council will host a Welcome to Orange lunch for new residents to the city on Sunday 30 October at the Orange Botanic Gardens Function Room.
New residents and their families who have moved to Orange in the last couple of years are welcome to attend the free lunch from 11am to 1pm.
This is the second event held this year to officially welcome new residents, with about 100 people from across the country, who now call Orange home, attending a lunch at Orange Ex-Services Club in March.
WELCOME LUNCH: A free luncheon to welcome new residents to Orange will be held at Orange Botanic Gardens on Sunday 30 October.
Orange Mayor Jason Hamling said the event was a great way to connect with other new residents and find out more about the city.
“Moving to a new city can be daunting and this is an excellent opportunity for new residents to learn more about what their new home has to offer,” Cr Hamling said.
“It’s a great chance to speak with other people who have moved to the area about their experiences, as well as learn from the locals, and I look forward to officially welcoming our city’s newest residents to the Orange community.”
Orange City Council staff and representatives from local community groups will be there to answer questions and help put people in touch with a range of local services, and there will be games and activities for children.
New residents wishing to attend can visit by Friday 28 October to book their spot.
