05.01.2022 Farewell from President Peta Swarbrick Dearest CWB community, It is with regret and gratitude that I say my farewells this week to you all. I have decided to run in the 2022 Federal Election and this necessitates my standing aside from the Committee. I wanted to say a big thank you to all the amazing people I have met during the last three years, for the camaraderie, the support, and the FUN!... Maryanne Gore has graciously stepped up to take over as President and I could not be happier to be replaced by such an incredible hardworking and capable member of our CWB mob. So many sponsors and supporters to thank. I hope to be able to catch up with many of you personally in the coming weeks. You can read my whole statement in our April newsletter https://mailchi.mp/720de064/october-2017-newsletter-3189149 which includes a very long list of people who have made my time so special through their friendship, mentorship, guidance, support and brilliant company. My thoughts are with you all at this very turbulent and uncertain time in our world. I wish you all the best of health and strength as we navigate our way to the other side. Have a very Happy Easter, making new traditions with your families close by your side, and may we all continue to look after ourselves, each other and our community.
