HAPPY: Liam Fox, Pat Long and Dot Stow sit down to lunch.

IT was Christmas in July at the Myrtleford RSL last week.

Over 40 Legacy widows from Bright and Myrtleford enjoyed a well-deserved lunch to celebrate the annual event.

It was a good chance for the ladies to catch up and enjoy a glass of wine and celebrate some early festive joy.

Legatees from Myrtleford and Bright catered for the day, providing the ladies with the free lunch and refreshments.

Each year Legacy widows are assisted by local legatees, ranging from care around the home to trips away.

They organise several outings throughout the year including three Yarrawonga trips and special events like Christmas in July.
