Mrs Clare has officially clocked up 25 years of service with the organisation, which has included two stints as president, as well as representing Yanco as a branch councillor.
She hasn't stopped there though. At a group level, Mrs Clare has served a three-year term as group representative and group vice president.
Being involved with an organisation has given Mrs Clare much more than she ever dreamed it could.

"I have really enjoyed my years of involvement with the Yanco CWA," she said.
"It has been a very important part of my life and a way to meet lifelong friends, as well as give back to the wonderful Yanco community."
To celebrate the milestone, Mrs Clare was recently presented with a CWA keep cup and she had the honour of cutting the cake at the organisation's recent 83rd anniversary celebrations.
Yanco CWA continues to attract new members.
Women ranging in age from their 20s to their 70s are now members.
The group continues to fundraise to help local projects, as well as broader problems such as drought relief.
Its most recent fundraiser was held on Friday with a plastic-free street stall in Leeton selling eco-friendly shopping bags, wax wraps, cakes, plants and of course the famous CWA scones.
Residents interested in joining the club can attend one of their monthly meetings. The group provides fellowship, fun and advocates on behalf of many varied causes.
