Congratulations to the new Queensland Country Women’s Association division President Jo Hubner (right). Previously Jo was the Coomera QCWA branch President for multiple years.

Delivery day for *heaps* of face masks for multiple local retirement villages. The Helensvale Red Cross have been working tirelessly to produce facemasks for the most vulnerable in our community. Huge thank you to Gerry and your team of dedicated volunteers.

Visited Year 6 students at Oxenford State School to discuss the history of the Westminster system of parliaments and how the Queensland Parliament works.
