Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie was guest speaker at an inaugural event held by Noosa Shire Arts & Crafts Association Inc. (NSACA) in Wallace House. The event was to recognise the long-serving members of the Association and to enjoy a morning tea with memorabilia and reminiscences of the long history of Wallace House and the Association.
Jenny Blyth has membership number 2 and has always been a member since its inception in 1993. Jenny and her fellow members at that time, were instrumental in setting up the association, activities and facilities which are still going strong today. Jenny reminded everyone how the House had changed since 1993, after the fire and now in its present form.
Management Committee member, Christine Pritchard said “ Membership has been up and down in the last couple of years but there is still a cohort of long- term members who support the Association in every way possible”.
Christine said, “ We decided to institute a system to recognise the long-term members by colour coding the lanyards all members wear when attending the House. New members wear a red lanyard, those with more than 10 years as members wear blue and those with over 20 years as members wear a gold lanyard.
NSACA continues to grow and their regular workshops and exhibitions are increasingly popular. The ECO ART Exhibition opens next month and in October, Wallace House, at 1 Wallace Drive, Noosaville, is the Hub for the annual art event – Noosa Open Studios.
