THE Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) Atherton Branch is putting a call out searching for any and all memorabilia, items or history relating to the establishment of the QCWA.
Material relating to the establishment of the QCWA, photographs of QCWA Halls dating back to 1925 or other dates for other branches, original QCWA recipe books to either donate or lend to be photocopied.
QCWA flags or banners from over the 100 years, names of official office bearers and their positions at any branches and photos of personnel or functions held over the century.
The call has been made looking to gather this historical material in preparation for the QCWA 100-year celebration in August 2022.
QCWA Atherton Branch secretary Kay Moloney said that each branch of the QCWA is heavily involved in their communities.
“QCWA isn’t all about scones and jam and cream but that’s not a bad part of it,” she said.
“I would love to get more original items that I can scan, laminate, frame and put on the walls.
“Just as a historical record.”
If you have any of this information of relevant material it can all be forwarded onto the QCWA Atherton Branch at PO Box 185, Atherton 4883.
