Thank you Gumnut for absolutely everything you do for our district and region. Your passion for your multiple roles rubs off on those around you. You have taken something that was struggling and built it into a beautiful, supportive and fun environment. I’ve said it before and I will say it again - we couldn’t do what we do without you!

Gwenda Freeman (Wanya - sister in Yorta Yorta) from the Central Highlands Region, Pyrenees District. Gwenda is a leader with Avoca Gem Girl Guides. Gwenda always brings a quiet yet enthusiastic attitude to all Guiding activities, whether with girls or adults. Gwenda has led GGV, along with a team, through their first Reconciliation Plan and in her tactful manner reminds us of when we could be more proactively recognising and further developing our understanding of our First Nations People.

Susan Verbyla from the Central Highlands Region, Hepburn District. Susan is a leader with Daylesford Girl Guides. Susan was a very proactive Support Group member whilst her daughter was in Guides, and promised that when she retired she would jump into leadership. Jump she has done - often single-handedly having to run the Unit. Susan also manages the Guide hall, actively seeks local support for the Guides and the hall, and currently has a long waiting list of girls to join the Unit. Susan actively supports Region events, often turning up even if she has no Guides coming.

I'd like to give a shout out to two Trefoil Guild Members on my team. These ladies Sandy McElroy and Mandy Sawatzki volunteered to be my merchandising team. These ladies did not know each other well but have pulled together to support each other working out a job description and to divide the jobs to their personal strengths. We were not expecting that the long-time manufacturers of our Victorian Trefoil Guild Polo tops and jackets would pull out. So, to their credit Sandy and Mandy have worked together to source a new manufacturer in Victoria and we are currently waiting on our first order to come from the new manufacturer.

As the other Trefoil Guilds around Australia have all been using the same long-time manufacturers, they are interested in transferring their business to our new manufacturer.

I call that going far and beyond the expectation of their role and would like to shout them out for taking the initiative to do what was necessary to keep the supply of Trefoil Guild merchandise available to our members.

Sandy and Mandy are both members of the WEGGSS Trefoil Guild and their role is Merchandising Team for the Victorian Trefoil Guild.
