MEET Concord RSL Women’s Auxiliary stalwart<br />

Freda Sutton who was recognised with an OAM<br />

last week in the <strong>2018</strong> Queen’s Birthday Honours<br />

List for her sterling service to veterans and their<br />

families. Hard working Freda of Concord, who<br />

has served as Auxiliary president for 31 years, is<br />

pictured celebrating her deserved award at the<br />

Concord RSL Club with fellow members.<br />

<strong>The</strong> week before, her original electric Singer<br />

sewing machine broke - so Freda went out<br />

and bought herself a new one. As the large<br />

supermarket stores are getting rid of plastic bags,<br />

Freda decided that she had better get busy and<br />

make lots of material bags to give away.<br />

That’s our Freda - the face of Concord RSL<br />

Women’s Auxilary - and a great role model.<br />
