International Women’s Day Event To Raise Vital Funds

The Zonta Club of the Whitsundays is inviting the local community to come together for a special International Women’s Day celebration on Sunday 8 March, with a fundraising luncheon to support initiatives that improve the lives of women and girls. 
Hosted at the Shute Harbour Marine Terminal, the event will include a two-course lunch, bubbles on arrival, and an address from guest speaker Elizabeth Hackett. The afternoon will also feature both a silent auction and live auction, raising vital funds to support Zonta’s service and advocacy work.
“This event is an opportunity to celebrate women, reflect on the progress made, and continue the important work still needed to create a safer and more equal world for women and girls,” said Zonta Whitsunday’s President, Marlene Reiffel. 

The dress code will be ‘Captain’s Table – classy, elegant cruising attire’, and tickets are $120, available via https://bit.ly/Zonta_IWD.

The Zonta Club of the Whitsundays is also calling on local businesses and community members to contribute items or experiences for the silent and live auctions. Auction donation enquiries can be directed to zontaclub7@hotmail.com
