Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke praised the importance of community organisations like the Country Women’s Association during a special event celebrating the 100th birthday of the Young CWA Branch.
“The CWA here in Young has been supporting women, children, and the wider community for 100 years, which is a truly remarkable achievement,” Ms Cooke said.
“It’s an amazing milestone and represents a long and valued history of dedication by members to enrich the lives of those in our local towns and villages.
“The ladies of the CWA are invaluable members of our community; whether it be fundraising, providing a network of support, lobbying for important causes, passing on their skills to others, or providing educational grants, their contribution is second-to-none.
“The CWA has consistently championed important causes, from supporting local families, to advocating for essential rural services, and today is a chance for us to shine a light on the fantastic work these women do, often without the recognition they deserve.
“Congratulations once again to all members of the Young CWA Branch; thank you for your continued generosity, and for the amazing work that you all do for our communities,” she said.
