St. Francis Association to operate from permanent premises

MALACCA: The St. Francis Association (SFA), established in 1917 will gain its very own premises this year, after a lengthy period of ‘floating around’ in rented venues.

A double storey building lot costing around RM365,000 at the new phase of the Taman Kota Laksamana has already been purchased. With further renovations and extensions coupled with furnishings and refurbishings to be undertaken in April, the association’s new home will be opened at a soft opening in the last quarter of 2012.
