The Country Women’s Association (CWA) Cobar branch has recently wel-comed two new Junior members, Ellie and Lexie Traynor.
The sisters are the first Junior members the branch has had since 1959.
At the branch’s March meeting, Ellie and Lexie were given the honour of making a special presentation to two of the group’s long serving members, Mary Madden and Jean Poulter.
Both ladies currently serve as the branch’s vice presidents and both have contributed greatly to meetings and activities with their wealth of experience, their generosity and their knowledge.
Over the years, they have also helped with a number of other activities associated with CWA.
Cobar CWA Branch secretary Kay Corbett reports in other matters from the March meet-ing, two senior students from Cobar High School were also presented with their Ellen Knight Memorial Scholarships.
“We wanted to give the scholarship early this year because last year we were interrupt-ed by COVID-19 restrictions,” Kay said.
Following the presentations the meeting continued to discuss plans for the Cobar Show which included items to be displayed in the main pavilion and the branch’s Trade Stand which will sell handicraft and cooking.
