The Yanco Country Women's Association branch recently received prestigious honour at the organisation's state conference in Bathurst.
The group was awarded the Past State Presidents' accolade, which in their opinion, is given to the branch that has made the most significant contribution to the community during the last 12 months.
"A submission was created describing the efforts of the Yanco branch in 2022, which included various catering projects, as well as forging an alliance with the Leeton Show Society and Yanco Public School," Yanco CWA president Tracey Hamilton said.
"Being seen, out and about, regularly, is a goal we set ourselves where we participated in the Yanco Lions Christmas Tree Festival and Yanco Twilight Market.
