Recently retired or just wanting something to do, CWA Narooma needs you. Next August CWA will have been active in Narooma 90 years, unfortunately membership is falling and some members are slowing down. We need some fresh faces, energy and ideas to keep going to 100. September is a more restive month at CWA Narooma, between the Group Day and Branch International Afternoon in August, and the mega Garage Sale held on Saturday 5th October ( Long Weekend). October also begins the CWA year with membership fees due and AGM’s to be held. If you have ever considered joining, now is the time. Annual fees at Narooma for the next year are $63, which includes dues to State and Group levels. That is less than a cup of coffee each week. The State CWA office has distributed over $15 million in drought assistance funds with every cent going out, this was able to be done with funds in CWA from member fees covering costs of distribution. CWA is so much more than cooking and handicraft, but these are quite often the way funds are raised to cover the other areas of activity. Come and chat “Sconeversation” with members Friday mornings 10am -noon find out more about CWA. Or if you can help with donations for the upcoming Garage Sale this would be a chance to drop them into rooms. If you have donations for Garage Sale, or would like more info on Narooma CWA ring Bernice Gale 4476-7540 or Joanne King 0408433178.
