Kiama CWA
The club met on October 16 to elect their new committee, under the guidance of Jamberoo CWA president Betty Mueller.
Our outgoing president, Jan Hobby, was thanked for her great leadership as Kiama CWA president for five years.
Thanks also to all our committee members for their great endeavours during the last 12 months.
The country theme was based on Iran. Mahim, who hails from there, brought a most beautiful display of artefacts from her homeland. Our afternoon tea also had some special Iranian delicacies.
The new committee will meet on November 8 at 11am at Jacqui Baker's home. Congratulations to new members.
