International Women's Day Breakfast 8 March

The Rotary Club of Brighton has advised us of this great event, namely the International Women's Day on 8 March and the breakfast at Crown.   So over to all interested members to explore.

Crown Casino Palladium Room is the only place to be at 07:00 for 07:30 on Friday 8 March.  Last year the event was greatly enjoyed by all 22 members, partners and friends who attended from our club and this year will even be bigger and better.

There will be an all-star cast of panelists, a not-always-serious debate and the opening address by the Minister for Mental Health, Women's Affairs and Community Services.  Not to mention a great meal and free car parking.

Early Bird Special: Get your ticket before Friday 8 February and pay only $60. All the details are in the flyer. Please contact David Smyth at dssmyth@attglobal.net.au or 0428 566 878 to book and get on a club table.   Better still, organise your own corporate table.

Half of the proceeds will go to our own project: Violence Free Families and the other half to the Kids Foundation. Both charities are working for the safety of children.

ED  Its origins ex Wikipedia are fascinating.  

"International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8 every year.  In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. "
