Zonta Club of Melton is celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) with a celebration dinner on March 14 at the Melton Country Club.
IWD is celebrated around the world on 8 March each year, and Zonta Club of Melton president Bianca Heaney said Zonta Club of Melton have been celebrating IWD for 26 years.
“IWD and Zonta go hand in hand to empower women world wide. Our mission and vision align,” she said.
“The theme this year is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world,” she said.
“And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment.
“So we invite women and men to join us for dinner.”
The dinner event from 7pm to 11pm will include the presentation of the Woman of Note award, which goes to a local woman who has made a significant contribution to the community.
The night will also feature guest speaker humourist, mathematician, journalist and author of more than 20 books, Kerry Cue.
Ms Cue is billed to deliver a talk that will take audiences on a journey through the challenges and quirks of womanhood.
Zonta International is a leading global organization of individuals working together to build a better world for women and girls.
Anyone is also welcome to come along to Zonta Club of Melton meetings which are held on the first Monday each month.
