Welcome to the <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong> issue of <strong>CR5</strong><br />
Magazine.<br />
I hope you all had a nice March despite<br />
several snowfalls. Luckily none of them<br />
lasted for long, but gave the youngsters<br />
time to enjoy building snowmen and<br />
sledging. Let us hope that spring is well<br />
and truly on its way and we can look<br />
forward to some warmer weather.<br />
No doubt gardening will be on everyone’s<br />
minds to prepare for the summer months<br />
