Betty celebrates 77 years with Thoona CWA

“(She) has been a regular attendee of our monthly meetings up until this last year, (when) she has moved into the Rangeview Nursing home in Wangaratta,” Ms James said.

“Betty has held all branch office positions and has been a committed contributor to our activities and won many prizes for her knitting.

“She has an incredible depth of knowledge of our branch history and local history.”

Ms James presented Betty with a certificate for her 77 years of service to the club.

All members then enjoyed a special afternoon tea with Betty, who was also celebrating her birthday.

Happy birthday, and congratulations on your 77 years with Thoona CWA, from everyone at the Benalla Ensign.
