Pink for a purpose … that was the theme of the Kumbia Kindergarten’s International Women’s Day luncheon held in the Kumbia Memorial Hall last Friday.

The choir wore pink and most of the guests were either decked out in pink or red to mark the occasion.

The morning, which was compered by Skye Curtain, is a major fundraiser for the kindergarten.

Guests enjoyed a hot lunch and dessert while they were entertained by the Sing Australia choir and listened to four guest speakers, all local women who have enjoyed success.

They were Mrs Juliette Tessmann, from Inverlaw; Cr Cheryl Dalton, from Wooroolin; Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington; and Ironpot author Alice Greenup.
