Join the CWA – no scone skills required

By publicity officer Jan Johnson

The Country Women’s Association can be found in the CWA Hall at 15 The Drive, Stanwell Park. An enthusiastic group of women come together here monthly to catch up and plan for future fundraising and social events.

At this branch level, we are a small cog in a much larger wheel of CWA NSW which works towards distributing the funds raised. These funds go to areas of need and for purposes that are beneficial for women. In recent times, with so many regional emergencies, this work of the CWA is very relevant.

Joining the CWA can enable women who are new to the area to meet people and get involved with the community. For those who have long enjoyed living in this beautiful part of the world, it might be the opportunity they have been looking for to be part of community fund-raising. All are welcome – having a country background or being a whiz at scone making are not prerequisites.

We started 2023 with a social day at the Wollongong Botanic Garden. After tea and coffee at the food van, we struck out on a circuit of the grounds. We wandered through beautiful flowering gardens, Australian native areas and enjoyed the coolness of the rainforest section. We gathered in the rotunda within the duck pond to decide on a nice picnic spot and in the shade of a chosen tree, we enjoyed lunch and a chat.

Thank you for all your support and we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting Tuesday, 4 April 10am.
