East Maitland CWA 75th Anniversary

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—I wish to formally recognise and congratulate the East Maitland branch of the Country Women's Association [CWA] on reaching an incredible milestone—75 years of dedicated service to our community. Since its establishment in 1949, the East Maitland CWA has been a cornerstone of support, advocacy, and friendship for women and families across our region. The members of the East Maitland CWA have worked tirelessly through fundraising and charitable initiatives to support rural and regional causes. Their contribution to education, health, disaster relief, and the preservation of local traditions, has had a lasting impact on generations of Maitland residents. The strength and spirit of the CWA lie in its members—women who have given their time, skills, and passion to build a better community. We honour their achievements and look forward to their continued service in the years to come. I join with the whole community in thanking members past and present for their invaluable contributions to our region and wishing all a very happy birthday.
