Yenda CWA Celebrates 100 Years

It was a busy time for the Country Women’s Association across the Murray last month as they celebrated 100 years of Yenda CWA.

Through the years Yenda CWA has supported the community during floods, drought and fires.

They have fought for healthcare, education and supported families in times of need.

Their advocacy is still needed today as governments continue to centralise services to large regional cities hundreds of kilometres away.
