International Women’s Day 2023

One of our biggest service projects has been celebrating  International Women’s Day which we have celebrated each year since the club commenced in 1997. Many well known speakers have shared their stories at these special events.

Organisation for this event commenced early in 2022. It was held in association with the Phoenix Women Football team, at the Witchmount Estate on Thursday 2nd March 2023 with 145 members and guests.

Our guest speaker for the night was Rosie Batty, who inspired us with her courage. The many awards that she has been awarded are amazing. We were successful in gaining a grant from the Melton Council which enabled us to have a great guest speaker.

Our Woman of Note was Jan Shiberras - Jan is involved in the community, catering and fundraising for many activities, she volunteers at Melton Police Station doing welfare checks, organises groups to attend theatre and movies.

Unfortunately, the venue had problems with their sound system which was definitely a concern for our speaker.
