Upcoming - Mother’s Day Stall at Concord

Don’t miss our Mother’s Day stall at Concord Rotary Farmers’ Market this Sunday, May 1. As well as delicious jams, marmalades and preserves, we’ll be selling Nonna’s lavender bags, lavender eye masks and gorgeous vintage afternoon tea cutlery sets – perfect gifts for Mum. Get in early for our freshly baked scones and ANZAC biscuits. The market will be open from 8:30 to 12:30 in Crane St car park (near Concord High). Come and say hello.

Mayoral nod of approval

The Mayor of Canada Bay, Angelo Tsirekas, paid a visit to our stall at Concord Rotary Farmers’ Market last Sunday, March 6. Accompanied by Markets Manager, Helen McCaffrey, he was keen to learn more about the CWA and Sydney City branch’s jam-making and fundraising efforts.

This is our third year at the Concord market, where we’ve been warmly welcomed by the local Rotary Club, other stallholders and local shoppers. According to organisers, the CWA stall is always a big drawcard.

Showing we care

In the true spirit of Christmas, a group of Sydney City members have been busy packing bags of goodies for women escaping domestic and family violence. Called “100 for 100”, in recognition of the CWA of NSW’s centenary next year, the project aims to, “Let women know they are being thought of by other women who care,” says outgoing President, Dr Gabrielle Wallace. “This is really part of what the CWA is about,” she adds.

The Care Packages contain a variety of items, including a jar of our delicious homemade jam, handcrafted gifts, a large bottle of Archie Rose rose-scented hand sanitiser, pamper products from New Directions Australia and a handwritten note.

The packs will be distributed through Banksia Women, part of the registered charity, St John’s Community Services in Darlinghurst, in time for Christmas.

We’d like to especially thank our sponsors, Archie Rose, at Roseberry, archierose.com.au, and New Directions Australia, at Marrickville, newdirections.com.au. Both businesses were thrilled to support our special Christmas project.
