The CAB would like any individual, organisation or firm that has had a connection with them during their 50-year history in Stevenage to come and sign the book and write a message.
Ms Hurle explained: "Thanks to previous publicity in The Comet, we have been able to trace three volunteers from the 1960s. We hope that many more people will be encouraged to contact us when they realise how keen we are to involve them in our celebrations and mark the great contribution they have made to the development of the CAB as it is today."
