Dunmunkle branch members held a coffee party for CWA Association Day with a variety of tempting food, a display of members’ work and a raffle. Recently members also enjoyed a casserole lunch to which friends were invited. The food was delicious and we served sweets. Guest speaker was Jason Wright, Warracknabeal District band master. He offered to come to Minyip for the Carols or any Minyip event which would require a band.
