A lovely BPW Franklin meeting this week. Presentation to our bursary winner Dahnie Skelling who attended with her family. All very proud of her, with good reason. We are very sad that Rachael Speedy is stepping back, what an asset she has been
Also had other awards and our AGM with Sally Sanderson stepping down and Helen Baucke our new President.
Many thanks to Sally who stepped into the Presidents shoes with very little warning and took it all in her stride with aplomb, when she hadn't even been a member for very long. Amazing woman.
