Redcliffe’s Vi Wilson has been recognised for more than four decades of service to the community through her work with Zonta.
Ms Wilson, 93, was among the foundation members of the Zonta Club of Redcliffe and says she’s proud to be part of an organisation that worked to empower women.
One of the recipients at the recent Petrie Volunteer Awards, she has led the club’s Breast Cushion Project for the past 15 years.
Last year when COVID-19 restrictions halted club sewing, stuffing and packing efforts, Ms Wilson made 200 of the cushions herself.
They are used by women recovering from breast cancer surgery and donated to Redcliffe Hospital and St Vincent’s Northside
