Bringing The Community Together For 100 years

There’s a reason why rural towns, like Sarina, have a certain charm that make you feel right at home – it’s the sense of community.

One of Sarina’s longest standing organisations, the Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA), is celebrating its centenary this year. QCWA Sarina has been bringing women together and fostering friendships through regular catch ups such as its craft meetings, often donating the creations to people in need, including patients at Sarina Hospital.

The community spirit doesn’t stop there, QCWA Sarina is hosting many events for its centenary year, including High Tea - 29 July, Scone Day - 11 August, Race Day - 5 September and a Crafts Expo in October.

The centenary and its celebrations are sponsored by Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank acknowledging QCWA Sarina’s 100 years of community service.

Alongside the sponsorship, Community Bank Sarina has provided QCWA Sarina with a marquee – to help with sun safety at its events. Other organisations who have received a marquee and signage package from Community Bank Sarina included:

• Friends of St Helens Beach Environment

• Grasstree Beach Progress Association

• Kalyan Youth Service

• Koumala Bushman’s Carnival

• Orange Sky

• Safe Sleep Mackay

• Sarina & District BMX Club

• Sarina 131 Army Cadet Unit

• Sarina Bird Club

• Sarina C&K Kindy

• Sarina Poultry Club

• Selectability Sarina

Without the support of local businesses and active volunteers, community organisations wouldn’t be able to do what they do best – bring a community together. Community Bank Sarina is proud to support local organisations and enable them to continue fostering connections in the community.
