CWA Street Stall to raise funds for Twinnies

The Tewantin-Noosa branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) will be hosting their renowned street stall, offering homemade baked goods, exquisite craft and other homewares to the Noosa community on Thursday 2 September from 8.30am.

Vice-president Leigh McCready said each time the CWA ran a street stall they choose a different charity to be their beneficiary.

“This time we have chosen Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue who have been working to save Sunshine Coast wildlife for over 16 years,“ she said.

“In that time the Twinnies, Paula and Bridgette have helped thousands of birds from numerous species all across the Coast. They also run a rehabilitation facility and do community training with Queensland schools.

“The Twinnies will be coming along to the Street Stall from 9am on the day, so bring the kids down and say hello. We will be out the front of CWA Hall, opposite the Tewantin-Noosa RSL Memorial Park on Poinciana Ave.

“We’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome new members who are interested in joining us at our monthly meetings which take place on the third Wednesday of each month, at 1pm (formal meeting) and on the last Wednesday of each month, from 5pm (social and local issues discussion and solutions forum).

“We also have weekly craft sessions on Thursday mornings from 9am at the Hall, where women of any experience level can bring a project along and receive tips or assist other women become more skilled.“
