This happened to Quotarian Bev Laing last year with the group’s International Women’s Day celebration.
You’d be panicky and sick to the stomach with worry as you called your friends and acquaintances for ideas and help.
Bev is again the organiser of this year’s IWD event and there is no way that’s going to happen this time.
Ladies, you are invited to join Quota in celebrating women’s achievements at a chicken and prawn luncheon at the Services Club with the theme ‘Women In the Arts’.
Local artists Marilyn Nash, Jo Laurie and Rosalie Burns will have some of their work on display and will talk about their art and themselves, while Cr Barbara Newton will enchant with her beautiful voice, Monica Lea will give a five minute Yoga demonstration and Janine Simpson, proprietor of The Red Chandelier, will put on a mini fashion parade.
All this for just $30. What a bargain!
Ladies, please ask all your female friends, relatives and acquaintances to come along with you, and to hotfoot it down to Absolutely Hair ASAP to purchase their tickets. It’s a large venue, but this is going to be the luncheon of the year and the tickets will go fast.
The details are: A Chicken & Prawn Luncheon hosted by the Parkes Quota Club to celebrate International Women’s Day at the Services Club, 12 p.m. on Sunday March 12.
Tickets are $30 and are available from Absolutely Hair at 207 Clarinda Street until March 6 unless sold out beforehand.
Quotarians work to make the world a better place, with a particular brief to help hearing and speech impaired people and disadvantaged women and children everywhere.
Current Parkes Quotarians’ projects include equipping classrooms with special up to the minute sound systems where there are children with hearing problems, and making reusable sanitary kits to be given to girls in developing countries so that they don’t have to skip school every month, and it is to these and other worthwhile ways of helping people that the net profits from this function will go.
Parkes Quota Club look forward to welcoming you all at this very special International Women’s Day luncheon.
