The Country Women’s Association Ocean Grove Nightlight Branch recently celebrated its 25th anniversary at Van Loons Nursery Cafe.
High tea, bubbles and lots of laughter made it a true celebration.
“Our past and present members have been privileged to be able to help and support women and children particularly in our local community but also nationally and internationally in times of need, emergencies and stress,” branch president and a founding member Janis Keating said.
“This has been achieved by raising funds to support local charities, local kindergartens and schools, local families, and a wider range of regional and state programs.”
“Back in 1996 working women were not being represented in the region, so an enthusiastic lot of like minded ladies met and the evening Nightlight Branch was born,” foundation president and current member Lyn Nurnaitis said.
“We are very grateful to the community for their support of our events, raffles and activities, particularly Ocean Grove Cellars, Paxton Press, Rotary Club and Pizza on Madeley.
“Also the Bendigo Bank and Government Grants for occasional grants and donations by the Dove Op Shop. ”
CWA Nightlights is a social, friendly small group that meets the first and third Thursday of the month at 7.30pm at 101 The Terrace, Ocean Grove, with interesting speakers, craft and many outings to local cafes and restaurants.
New members and guests are welcome and young people and ladies are encouraged to join
