International Women’s Day
INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day is celebrated annually around the world on March 8. This year is all about encouraging us to ‘choose to challenge’ the barriers faced by women in society.
In Dubbo, local community organisations such as Connecting Community Services, Orana Support Service, Buninyong and Dubbo West Schools as Communities Centres, Uniting, Mission Australia, Wilay Café and Western NSW Local Health District are teaming up on International Women’s Day to host a morning tea at the Church Street Rotunda.
Organiser Lorna Brennan told Dubbo Photo News “the whole idea of the day is to celebrate the achievements of women in our community, join together and chat.”
The event will start at 10am and will continue until midday. Free coffee, cupcakes and a gift pack will be given out to the first 100 participants, there will be special guest speakers Jen Cowley and Dr Amy Perrin, and live entertainment by Tanya Andrew.
