June, the president of the group, was awarded an Honorary Life Membership; Elizabeth a Certificate of Commendation; and Carmel a Certificate of Appreciation.
The South Burnett Arthritis and Osteoporosis Support Group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at the Artie Kerr Building at 130 Kingaroy Street, Kingaroy.
