MALENY Branch of the Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) recently held a “Cents for Centenary” old fashioned cent sale to celebrate the QCWA’s 100 years of service to the Queensland community. Many items were donated by local businesses including items hand made by members showing their talents in craft. The ‘how many jelly beans in the jars’ competition provided fun for the children with four jars of jelly beans keenly claimed by the closest winners.
The Floral Art demonstration and QCWA ‘Country Kitchens’ cooking demonstration proved popular with the visitors. All the colourful plants and flowers were snapped up quickly. One of the CWA members who has amazing talent demonstrated the making of a beautiful floral arrangement. The arrangement was later auctioned off to the highest bidder. Visitors were also keen to learn about the ‘Country Kitchens’ healthy eating with tasty treats being offered and recipes. Thank you to everyone who came along and supported Maleny CWA on the day.
President Marlene Hankinson wishes to also acknowledge and thank the numerous local businesses who donated prizes towards the cent sale.
