Golden Jubilee of Country Women`s AssociationPrint Page 
The tree commemorates the golden jubilee of the Country Women`s Association in Victoria.
The Country Women's Association of Victoria was founded in 1928. It is a non-sectarian, non-party-political, non-profit lobby group working predominantly in the interests of women and children in rural areas. Its first president (1928 - 1932) was Lady Mitchell.
The formation of the Victorian Association was prompted by a meeting organised by Lady Somers (wife of the then state governor) in March 1928. It was quickly strengthened by proliferation of local branches and the decision of the seven Victorian Women's Institutes (the first of which had been formed in 1926) to join the new Association. By 1929 it boasted twenty branches with 1700 members.
