Kojonup C.W.A. Memorial CentrePrint Page 
The C.W.A. Memorial Centre was built as a memorial to the men and women of the district who died in service or were killed in action in both World Wars. The building was transferred to the Shire in 2010.
In 1946 the CWA started fundraising to build their own centre, under the leadership of Branch President Mrs F Owen, and by the end of 1952 enough funds had been raised to make a start. The tender for construction was awarded in January 1953 to Harold Jones and construction commenced in March 1953. J. F. Cavanagh supervised the construction of the building. The Foundation Stone was unveiled on 14th May 1953 by Marjorie Caw, Foundation President (1932). It was completed and officially opened on 16th October 1953 by State President Lady McLarty, with over 200 attending.

Memorial Centre building (a new branch meeting room, a lounge and kitchen facilities) being erected as a monument to the men and women of the district who fell in the two world wars is fast taking form. Brickwork and tiling have been completed, and a plaque is to be unveiled on May 14. A fund to help meet building costs now totals £255.
