International Women’s Day
When we walk across the bridges on International Women for Womens day we are taking this opportunity to consider and highlight the plight of women around the world who don't share the liberties we women in the western world have afforded to us. We know that there are women and children in Australia who are refugees from many countries around the world and including our indigenous population who also don't have the same freedom that we enjoy and often take for granted.
This year IWD will start at 8am with a walk across the L H Ford bridge and then through the parkland across the Emile Serisier bridge arriving at the adjacent park at around 8:30am. A courtesy bus will be available for anyone wanting to return to the Dubbo RSL Club for tea, coffee and refreshments. The Dubbo RSL Health club is also providing a free exercise class at 9:30am including child minding for anyone attending.
In the evening a dinner will begin at 7pm, with Kate Bracks as the special guest. Cost is $55 / 3 course table service dinner with a complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival.
For more information call Suzanne Gratton on 0422615945.
