Redcliffe’s Vi Wilson has been recognised for more than four decades of service to the community through her work with Zonta.

One of the recipients at the recent Petrie Volunteer Awards, she has led the club’s Breast Cushion Project for the past 15 years.

They are used by women recovering from breast cancer surgery and donated to Redcliffe Hospital and St Vincent’s Northside
