International Womens Day
Next Thursday the 8th of March is International Womens Day and to celebrate the Cossie Club are putting on a Devonshire Tea, 9.30am – 11.30am, with proceeds going towards the Upper Hutt Womens Centre. Tickets are $7.50, which includes freshly made scones, tea, coffee, a lucky ticket draw and a local Natalie Sisson as the guest speaker. There will be raffles on the day.
Tickets are available from the Womens Centre 527 0017, email uhwomen@xtra.co.nz or visit them at 6 Sinclair Street. Visit their website www.uhwc.co.nz... or facebook page to find out some of the services and programmes they provide for women.
Sorry men but your international day is the 19th of November. However, you are also very welcome to support our women.
