💜🩵💚💛 A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU 💛💚🩵💜

Today we would like to take a moment to recognise and sincerely thank Debbie Waters and Sandra Goodby, two incredibly valued and long-standing members of the Coffs Harbour & District Eisteddfod Society.

After many years of dedicated service, both Debbie and Sandra are stepping down from their Executive positions — Debbie as President and Sandra as Treasurer.

Their commitment to our Eisteddfod has extended far beyond their Executive roles. Both Debbie and Sandra have also been dedicated members of our Dance Committee, giving countless hours of their time, knowledge, energy and passion to help make our Eisteddfod the special event it is today.

As President, Debbie has provided leadership, guidance and countless hours of work behind the scenes, helping steer our Society through many Eisteddfod seasons and changes along the way.

As Treasurer, Sandra has taken on the important responsibility of managing the Society's finances, ensuring the many moving parts behind our not-for-profit event continue to run smoothly.

Together, they have contributed so much — not only through the positions they have held, but through their willingness to pitch in, solve problems, support our volunteers and, most importantly, care deeply about our Eisteddfod and the opportunities it provides to our performers and local community.

Debbie and Sandra, thank you!!
Thank you for your years of service, your friendship, your dedication and for the countless hours you have given so generously.
Your contribution has helped shape the Coffs Harbour & District Eisteddfod, and your presence will certainly be missed around the Executive and Dance Committee tables.

From all of us at the Coffs Harbour & District Eisteddfod Society, and the many students, performers, families, teachers, volunteers and supporters who have benefited from your dedication...Thank you, for everything you have given to our Eisteddfod.
We are incredibly grateful.
🩵💚💛💜
