Honorary Award for Christina Booth

Honorary Crystal Kite Award for Christina Booth for

Outstanding Service to SCBWI Tasmania

Christina Booth was presented with this award for outstanding service to SCBWI TAS at her final event as co-coordinator. Anne Morgan, coordinator SCBWI TAS, thanked Christina for her years of service and wished her every success.

Christina has shared the coordinator role for eight years and is stepping back to concentrate on her work as a children’s book creator. Christina’s final event was a Sketch and Scribble in Hobart’s Royal Botanical Gardens. A day enjoyed by many of Tasmania’s SCBWI members.

We are all so thankful for Christina’s generosity serving our membership. Enjoy your award and our very best wishes for the future.
