Forbes Phoenix to celebrate International Women’s Day

February 18, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

IWD Luncheon Ad_120216

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating
the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender
parity.
International Women’s Day (IWD) has been observed since in
the early 1900’s – a time of great expansion and turbulence in
the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and
the rise of radical ideologies. International Women’s Day is a collective
day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No
one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution,
women’s network or media hub is solely responsible for International
Women’s Day. Many organizations declare an annual IWD
theme that supports their specific agenda or cause, and some of
these are adopted more widely with relevance than others.
The theme for this year’s event is #PledgeforParity and International
Womens Day will be celebrated locally at the Forbes Services
Club on Friday 11th March and will include a two course lunch
catered by the Services Club, and special guest speaker Tara
Scott, an Ambassador from One Girl, the charity we are supporting.
This charity is committed to educating 1 million girls across
Africa by 2020.
The event would not be possible without all of the wonderful
sponsors that have come on board. The Forbes Services Club,
Ray White Rural and the Central West Credit Union have each
donated their valuable services to make it possible. This will go a
long way to supporting One Girl in their quest to educate 1 million
less fortunate African girls within the next four years.
Catering at the Services Club will include a two course lunch,
and $5 per ticket sold will be donated to One Girl to help them in
their African girls education mission.
Tickets are $45.00 per person and can be purchased from the
Forbes Phoenix. Grab your friends and come and enjoy a fantastic
days with lots of goodies to be won.
