The changeover event was attended by more than 50 people, who welcomed new president Lorraine McKellar to the role. 

She takes over from outgoing president Phyllis Guthrie. 

Lenore Ditton will be this year’s secretary, while Alma Herrmann takes on the treasurer position. 

Mrs Ditton said the night was also used to disburse funds raised throughout the year to many different Leeton shire organisations. 

“In Leeton we gave many to Volunteer Rescue Association, the Girl Guides, Carramar and the Eisteddfod Society,” she said. 

“Of course we also gave money to cord blood and our district project for the year. 

“It was a very successful evening.”
