Thank you from CWA Narrandera for everyone who helped in the planning and running of our International Food Fair last Saturday. We need to give quite a few thanks to different people and bodies:- • Firstly to the NSW government for our funding under the Reconnecting Regional NSW Community Events program – we couldn’t have run the event without it. • To Narrandera Shire Council who assisted us to get the funding and helped with many aspects of the organisation. Thanks in particular to Tiffany Thornton and Brenda Hartmire for their assistance and advice. • To Manildra for their kind sponsorship – thanks to Aaron Hall and his team for organising this for us • To Matt Hunt from Narrandera Signs for donating corflute signs • To Narrandera Soroptimists who lent us their trailer and donut machines, and also came along to help us out with our first time using it. • To Zavier Beecham (who gave our Acknowledgement of Country), Beryl our President, Mayor Neville Kschenka (for his kind words about the work of CWA) and to Steph Cooke MP for Cootamundra who officially opened the event • To the Leeton Multicultural Council who kindly organised some of our food stalls – thanks particularly to Susie Rowe who helped out on the day • To our entertainers for their fantastic music, singing, dancing and children’s activities. Special thanks to Narrandera East Infants School (and Liss Routley) and St Joseph’s Primary School (and Lizzy Walsh) for their wonderful performances. Also to John and Anita Houldsworth from the Three Tiers who organised our sound and helped us out with announcements. • To Narrandera Public School for organising the art work for our Art Display on this year’s CWA Country of Study – Latvia. • To all our stall holders – it was fantastic that so many came. • To our fabulous CWA members who helped out in so many ways (and to their husbands/brothers/friends who stepped up on the day doing so much of the heavy lifting).
