Pumpkin is the new QCWA Product of the Year for 2024! 🤩

This week we continue sharing with you our delicious pumpkin recipes. These pumpkin, cheddar and caramelised onion triangles are perfect for all occasions! Serve with a side salad for lunch, as a snack for morning or afternoon tea, or make mini versions for entertaining! Best of all, these can be frozen before baking for a quick and easy snack that can be cooked straight from frozen 👩‍🍳

We had the pleasure of 2 visitors to our monthly meeting this week.
A guest speaker from PACT gave us an insightful talk on the work they do to support victims of crime through the court proceedings. Particularly children.

And the genius Janine Mickelburough (Goombungee member) had us laughing along to her award winning poem rendition..... 'An ode to Toilet Paper....a Bums Lament'.
Thank you to both our guests!
