International Women's Day

 

2023 March

Members enjoyed a wonderful meeting in March for International Women's Day where we were fortunate to have the company of View's National President, Marg Woodhouse, and also Zone Councillor.  We had an interesting presentation on View's  focus and purpose.

We also had a lively talk from one of our Members, Tina, who spoke about her incredible life in the UK - very funny and interesting- as usual great food and company.
