International Women’s Day 2023
Gabby attended an International Women’s Day
committee meeting on Monday night regarding the running and organising of the annual breakfast at the
Box Hill Town Hall
 
It was agreed to continue with the IWD Breakfast in 2023 – to be held on 8 March 2023 which is International Women’s Day. 
 
This was based on a number of factors  including that:
  • if it was not run next year, it was unlikely to ever run again
  • it is a successful event and raises the profile of women and Rotary in the local areas
  • it is a way of attracting new members
