Closing in on almost a century of community involvement in Proserpine, the local Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) branch are cleaning house to fundraise for their future.
Set to celebrate 100 years in July next year, the local branch will hold their first ever garage sale next week to raise money towards upgrading their QCWA Hall on Main Street.
The Proserpine branch’s current building – constructed in 1935 - needs its entry access ramp and stairs replaced, and a garage sale was plotted to help fundraise for the cause.
Proserpine QCWA member Kerri Southee said the building has served the community in many ways since its establishment.
“It is used for many varied events and community organisations even today. From Yoga to Orchid Society Meetings and the QCWA ladies themselves meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 9am,” Ms Southee said.
“We need the community support to keep this historic institution alive and well and continuing to serve the community of the Whitsundays.”
QCWA are an active community of women who, together, improve the lives of people living in regional, rural, and remote Queensland. They are always looking for members.
The garage sale will begin at 8.00am on Saturday, October 29, at the QCWA Hall on 4 Faust Street, Proserpine. Donations will also be accepted with the hall opening the day before from 1.00pm to 4.00pm.
