Forrest Darlings CWA

Every year the Country Womens Association of WA selects a country of study. The country of study for 2023 is Malaysia. At each meeting we aim to learn a little more about our country of study through a short presentation or similar.

At our April meeting, member Heather baked a pandan cake for everyone to enjoy. This cake is often considered the national cake of Malaysia. Pandan cake, also known as pandan chiffon cake, is a light, fluffy, green-coloured sponge cake traditionally flavoured with the juices of Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves. Everyone agreed it was delicious!

Some of you may remember that we made a large crochet Christmas tree for display at the Darlington Arts Festival two years ago. The group has now decided to repurpose the knitted granny squares from the tree to make blankets which may be donated or offered for sale for fundraising.

Save the date: Visit our stall at Mundaring Garden and Farmers Market on Saturday 6 May from 9am. We will have a range of handmade crafts and tasty baked goods for sale. Please come and support us.

The Forrest Darlings branch of CWA meets monthly on the third Wednesday (7pm) at Darlington Pavilion. For further information about visiting or joining the branch please call Kate Herren (President) on 0452 644 248.

Rotary Club of Midland Swan Valley (Swan Rotary)

Pride of Workmanship Awards provide an opportunity for employers to recognise employees who demonstrate outstanding qualities and commitment for their role in the workplace. Swan Rotary is calling for nominations from employers wishing to acknowledge dedicated employees at our Pride of Workmanship Awards event to be held in July 2023.

What is the purpose of a Pride of Workmanship Award?

• To promote Vocational Service.

• To encourage Pride of Workmanship in all vocations.

• To provide employers with an opportunity to recognise employees who display those qualities which are worthy of an award.

• To encourage favourable employer/employee relationships and a sense of community pride in individual achievement.

• To provide an opportunity for Rotary to be involved in the community.

The origin of the programme

“Pride of Workmanship” was launched as a Rotary project in June 1975.

The aim was to encourage a much-needed pride in personal performance in the workplace and to help create a national attitude for the benefit of our country.

A plaque bearing the now familiar slogan - “Do it once, Do it well, Build a Better Australia”, for display in their workplace, will be presented to awardees.
