First president is life member

Local resident Annette Wilson was voted a life member of the Bouddi Society at its general meeting on February 27.

Bouddi Society President Mr Phil Donnelly said Ms Wilson had "a very strong commitment to her community".

"Annette was always very much a team player and her quiet confidence, determination and expertise provided the Bouddi Society with great impetus and stability," Mr Donnelly said.

Ms Wilson was the inaugural president of the Bouddi Society and the initial editor of the Bouddi News, the newsletter used by the society to "reach into the community".

Mr Donnelly said Ms Wilson was still "actively involved in many of its (community) organisations".

Formerly the Killcare Hardys Bay Progress Association, the Bouddi Society is a cultural group which contributes to the cultural and social life of the Killcare Peninsula.

The group is also involved in financially supporting local charities and voluntary organisations.
