International Womens Day Breakfast - Kingaroy
Today is the 101st annual International Womens Day (IWD) - a day which provides an opportunity to celebrate the political and social achievements of women in the past, present and future and to recognise the courageous acts performed by ordinary women to attain these things. IWD also provides an opportunity to unite women, organisations, businesses and the broader community to continue to support women and create meaningful change in the lives of women across the world. In the South Burnett, Centacare will be holding a special International Womens Day Breakfast at Kingaroy Town Hall in Glendon Street, Kingaroy at 7:00am this morning to mark the occasion. Linda Silburn and Karen Seiler from BIEDO and Nicole Connolly from Stanwell will be special guest speakers at this morning's get-together and all women are welcome - but to assist with planning the catering an RSVP is essential. You can make one by phoning Nicole on (0400) 076-048 or by emailing her. Note: A number of International Womens Day Morning Teas will also be held at all libraries around the South Burnett this morning. If you can't make it to the Kingaroy breakfast but would like to attend one of these instead, the Kingaroy, Blackbutt and Proston libraries will be holding these morning teas at 9:30am; Murgon and Wondai libraries at 10:30am; and Nanango library at 11:00am.
