2021 End of an Era for CC Past Presidents

At a meeting held on 12th February 2021 it was decided to close the Central Coast Branch of the Womens Past Presidents.  It was a difficult decision but unfortunately we no longer had enough volunteers to continue.

The Branch was started back in 1973, the Foundation President was Freda Somerville from Gosford.    The meetings were held at Gosford over the years and events were held at various venues.    We had the Ruth Shoebridge Shield held at Gosford each year,   Charity Day at various venues and our Christmas get together.   At each of these events money was raised and at the Christmas get together a cheque was given to the Central Coast Hospital Auxiliaries on a rotation basis.  Gosford, Woy Woy and Wyong.  We are very proud of the fact that since 1982(as far back as our financial records go) we have donated a total of $59,335.69.

We take this opportunity to say a very big Thank You to all our venue clubs throughout the years and a special Thank You to all members from the clubs who supported our days and helped us raise the money.    The hospital auxiliaries have put this money to good use buying much needed equipment.

Our final presentation was to Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary on Monday 8th March.    Unfortunately due to Covid in 2020 we had only held one event, in February.   However we were very pleased to be able to present them with a cheque for $1538.05. 

I would also like to say a big Thank you to all Past Presidents who belonged to our group and a special Thank You to the ladies who always put their hands up to be on Committees.
