As this year draws to an end, after what seems like the longest year ever, I am grateful for many things. I am grateful for the extra family time we had this year and a reminder to appreciate the people we have in our lives.
The last month we have had a few committee members step down for various reasons. The CDMBA committee is the backbone of our association and we are so appreciative for all they do. One of these ladies, Marty, has been a part of the committee for 5 years, even after she moved to Queensland. She has put such great effort into our club and being there for our members. Her bubbly personality will be missed at committee meetings. We are grateful for her continued support within the club as a member.
Similarly, two of our playgroup facilitators are leaving us. Chiara and Kassy have dedicated their Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to playgroups. Chiara was the Tuesday Chisolm Facilitator and Kassy the Young Bubs Facilitator. Thank you ladies for helping get our children out of the house and letting us have 2 hours of peace once a week. Thank you also Kassy for all her work as Admin Secretary, and for being part of the executive team, especially in such a trying year.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the committee members for being part of CDMBA committee during such a tough year. Your commitment to the club really shone through during these unprecedented times and I am truly grateful for the hard work and out of the box thinking many of you demonstrated to support our members in these times.
Lastly, to all CDMBA members, hopefully, we can all get a break from COVID and just relax this holiday season. Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen, and here’s hoping we can put 2020 behind us.
Sincerely,
Candice,
CDMBA President
