So last week we were lucky enough to hear from Carol Clay from the Country Women's Association.
 
Carol Clay has been a member of the Country Women's Association since 2011 joining the Berry's Creek Branch before joining Pakenham in 2006.
 
Carol has been Group president of Gippsland Hills group from 2003-2005 and a continuous member of the State Coucil from 2003-2014 and again from 2018.
 
In 2018 Carol was elected a Member of Honour by more than 85% of members of the Association.
 
Carol has an extensive history of more than fifty years of community service as a volunteer with hospital auxiliaries, Red Cross, tennis club, school and kindergarten committees and other organisations, as well as conducting her own catering and sponge making business for ten years.  She also conducted cooking demonstrations at Casey-Cardinia Libraries for past 3 years and presently is part of CWA Cardinia Community Kitchen project in conjunction with the Cardinia Food Movement and Ripe for Change.
 
Carol's talk was very interesting and enjoyed by all that attended.
