Changing of the Guard

At our recent Annual General Meeting the Delegate for the past 5 years, Margaret May, stepped down and she is being replaced by 2 new Delegates who are going to work together in the role.

The Delegates voted in are Elizabeth Keighley and Sharon Passau. Both Sharon and Elizabeth have contributed much to Creative Fibre Auckland and we are all looking forward to supporting them in their new role.

Sharon was the Secretary for the area over the past year and Elizabeth has been Education Officer for the area. She is also one half of ‘Spindler’s Treasures’ who trade at many local events.
