We would like to thank everyone who supported our morning tea, cake stall and handicraft stall on Jacaranda Thursday.

Winners of the raffle held at the morning tea have been notified. Also, thanks to everyone who supported the North Coast CWA Group float in the Jacaranda Parade. We all had fun and did lots of cheering. (And in answer to numerous shouted requests for scones, the rules of the parade say that we can’t give out anything from the trucks!) We of course do lots of other things as well as making scones- for example, lobbying government on key issues, including focusing this year on the critical need for improvements to maternity services and support in rural and regional Australia.

Members from the Grafton branch and North Coast Group attended the funeral of the late Judy Richardson AM, held on Friday November 11. Judy was a past CWA president of Grafton Branch and also NSW State President. Our condolences go to her family, rest in peace Judy.

The next meeting of Grafton CWA will now be on Friday November 18, with morning tea at 9.30am and the meeting starting at 10am. New members are always welcome.
