Outgoing secretary, Lyn Freudenstein was thanked for her service as the Auxiliary’s Secretary for the past 15 years.

The highlight of the meeting was the awarding of badges for long service.

Mrs Tilla Davidson was awarded her 20 year service badge by Liane Preinbergs, the Auxiliary’s regional representative.

Tilla’s son Christopher and his wife also attended the presentation. Liane travelled from Tumut to attend the meeting.
