QCWA members from all parts of the Sunshine Coast came together to celebrate the awarding of long service certificates to five Branch members.
Long time Noosa resident Marcia Dorricott, also well known in Legacy, Red Cross and the RSL Ladies Auxiliary marked 60 years of membership and service to the CWA.
Branch president Leigh McCready awarded the certificates at the Tewantin Noosa RSL with a crowd of well-wishers. Avis Hannah and Connie Beausang marked 20 years of service, while Margaret Thompson and Sue Punshon were recognised for 10 years of service.
Ms McCready said, “These members demonstrate what the QCWA means to local communities.”
“They have worked tirelessly by fund raising and providing support to women, families and other QCWA members in time of need and these certificates demonstrate our appreciation of their work.
“At 96 years of age, Connie Beausang is our oldest member and is still a powerhouse for fund raising, producing sought after handmade craft items at our street stalls, raising significant money to donate to people in need in our local area.
“The QCWA provides friendship and connection between women and volunteer many hours of valuable service and we salute them.”
