Women’s Day at The Boathouse

“On International Women’s Day, let us all pledge to do everything we can to overcome entrenched prejudice, support engagement and activism, and promote gender equality and women’s empowerment” – UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres.
The UN declares “International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.”
The Zonta Club of Noosa is hosting this year’s International Women’s Day Breakfast at the Boathouse Restaurant, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville on Thursday, 8 March at 7am. The guest speaker is Juliette Wright, Founder and CEO of GIVIT, a national not-for-profit.
All are invited to share breakfast and listen to Juliette, who created GIVIT to ensure quality goods get to where they are most needed by safely connecting and inspiring an online network of givers.
During the 2011 Queensland floods, then-Premier Anna Bligh turned to Juliette for help and GIVIT became the state government’s official website for matching donors and recipients so charities weren’t swamped with excess goods. This led to the establishment of a dedicated GIVIT Disaster Recovery service.
Tickets for the event are $35 per person and are available online only at TryBooking www.trybooking.com using the link www.trybooking.com/301384. Please note there will be no door sales.
