Thanked for her work

Lisa Fuary of Umina has been presented with a certificate of appreciation and a bronze statuette to thank her for her work with the Umina branch of the Australian Breastfeeding Association.

Ms Fuary, a member of the association for 11 years, was one of the founding members of the Umina group seven years ago.

She was presented with the certificate and statuette at the group's Christmas lunch.

Group leader Ms Heidi Nader said Lisa had been an active member of the Umina group since its inception, assisting with fundraisers and community education activities.

"Most importantly, she has shared her experiences with other mothers to help them on their mothering journey," Ms Nader said.

Ms Fuary said the ABA had made her mothering and breastfeeding experiences much easier due to the support and friendship she had received.

"I owe ABA a huge debt of gratitude," Ms Fuary said.
