FOR almost 60 years, the Country Women’s Association (CWA) has been a vital part of the Tatura community. Following the closure of CWA Younger Set in 1966, Tatura Younger Setters became full members of CWA and had a name change to “Rodney”, honouring the local council of the day. The current Rodney CWA Branch membership is 23. There has been a Rodney CWA Junior Branch for the last 20 years with 10 junior members at present.
Through community projects, fundraising efforts, and educational programs, the Rodney CWA has made a significant impact. Members have provided essential items to local charities, supported community groups, and raised funds for various initiatives.
The branch has also played a crucial role in promoting education and cultural understanding. Members have participated in state-level leadership roles, represented Tatura at the Melbourne Show, and studied countries around the world.
As Tatura celebrates its 150th anniversary, the CWA continues to be a cornerstone of the community, providing support, friendship, and a sense of belonging.
Rodney CWA is a member of the Goulburn Valley West Group encompassing Mooroopna, Harston, Toolamba Wrens, CWA Potters and Sheridan (Kyabram).
