QCWA Annual Report 2018-2019

Annual Report 2018–2019 • The Queensland Country Women’s Association

STATE PATCHWORKERS REPORT Trish Jacobson

Amy Kang was the recipient for the second bursary. Amy is a young mother who drives from Toowoomba to Mount Gravatt to attend TAFE. I presented the cheque to Amy at the Icon Fashion Show in June 2019. A State Art Union was not held this year due to unforeseen circumstances, but the committee will revisit this in 2019–20. The Viewer’s Choice challenge for Conference October 2019 was agreed to be a placemat with the theme of Mary Poppins. Something I think we should remember is that a handmade gift is always appreciated ~ so ‘finished’ is better than ‘perfect’!

I would first like to thank retired Committee Chairman Beverley D’Aquino for the detailed guidelines and suggestion given to the incoming committee. These were a great help, thank-you! The committee for 2018–19 comprises Wendy Driver oam, Barbara Harth, Rhonda Walton, Lois Thurecht, and Trish Jacobson. Each year the committee gives two bursaries to students in the Mount Gravatt TAFE Fashion Department. In December the recipient was Casey Barrett . Mrs King and I had the pleasure of attending the 2018 Graduation Parade where I presented the cheque to Casey. This was an entertaining and enjoyable evening. The students are very creative, and I am very proud that we were able to help in some way.
