Our meeting was held in Albury where we started our meeting with a minute’s silence in memory of our former member Susan Creek, and also thinking of a couple of our members who have been unwell of late.
Bev Frohling gave a report on the recent Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) Conference, which she, Narelle Morey and Lyn Jacobsen attended in Melbourne. It had representatives from almost eighty countries present and was a most informative and friendly conference.
Lyn Jacobsen spent eight days working at the Sydney Royal Easter Show on the Catering Committee. She was in charge of the scone making, where they were cooking over 4000 scones every day. A highlight this year was when Lyn was able to get a photo taken with Royal Easter Showgirl, Stephanie Clancy, also from Pleasant Hills.
We have a Bunnings BBQ in Albury to raise funds coming up on Sunday, May 26th. CWA are distributing all the money raised to help drought-stricken areas. So far, over $11 million has been handed out to more than 6,500 applicants.
