Community-minded individuals who would like to ensure the continuation of one of the most iconic institutions in the state are invited to attend a public meeting this Saturday.
The Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) has been empowering women since 1922, across Queensland's regional and remote communities and last year the Proserpine/Whitsundays Branch celebrated its 100th birthday.
In a sad turn of events, this beloved arm of the state-wide institution is now without leaders and is currently looking for a secretary, treasurer and president in order to continue.
Current members of QCWA Proserpine/Whitsundays have dedicated many years to participating in the group and volunteering countless hours, but these selfless women have now decided they need to take a step back, hoping other proactive community members will now step up to the roles.
Hoping to fill those positions QCWA is hosting a public meeting on Saturday 31 August at 10am. At the public meeting, members will be informing attendees about what CWA do and what it stands for.
At their previous public meeting, they saw good numbers and with this upcoming meeting, they are hoping that someone will be confident enough to become an executive member.
Current member Robyn Creighton said that all existing members will offer the new executives their upmost support.
“We will be giving them lots of help, anybody that wants to put up their hand we won’t be abandoning them! We will be here to help them,” added Robyn.
“It's been going for 102 years; it would be a bit shame for it to close.
“We love CWA and everything it’s brought us, friendship and confidence. We would really love to see it continue with some office bearers.”
QCWA is great for making new connections and friends, sharing knowledge and learning new skills, or influencing the unique needs of our local community and ultimately, improving the lives of women and families.
To avoid this loss to our community, go to the next public meeting at the Cannonvale Neighbourhood Centre at 10am and put your hand up.
