Thanks for five decades of CWA service

Our outgoing president, Carol Pugh, has been awarded a Life membership after 49 years of service to the CWA. This is a huge achievement.
Carol joined in 1976, and in the early years, even as she was juggling young children and part-time work, Carol was able to win a Group Fundraiser of the Year award. On retiring in 2011, Carol became branch president and helped drive the upgrade of the CWA hall, which included a new roof and deck, upgrading toilets and painting. Each of these activities are complex and time consuming.
In 2025 when Carol stepped aside from her role as president, she left a legacy of an active and positive membership, and a meeting hall in excellent condition for community use.
Thanks for the support
On Valentine’s Day, we held a very successful cake stall and BBQ at Bunnings Bellambi. We had a mountain of beautiful cakes and treats, discounted bread from Helensburgh Hot Bread Shop, the support of great husbands and friends, and members who arrived early to set up and stayed late to pack up. It was a great team effort.
Thanks to the generous locals who supported our two stalls. Funds raised will go to a maintenance issue with our hall as well as donations to charities that the CWA supports.
We can be found at the CWA hall, 15 The Drive, Stanwell Park on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am. Just turn up or email stanwellparkcwa@gmail.com
