This year’s International Women's Day was a wonderful celebration of local women and the contributions they make to our community. The theme for the day was ‘Women Shaping the Future’ and our inspirational guest speaker Johnstone Shire Citizen of the Year Peace Mitchell shared with us her visions for a family friendly community and nation.
Our youth representatives from the Innisfail High School and Good Council College were extremely well spoken. Their personal accounts were heart felt and gave us great hope for the future.
A big thank you to our wonderful MC Melinda Nucifora, news journalist for the ABC, she traveled all the way from Brisbane for the lunch and her professionalism lifted the event to another level.
The lunch was also the announcement of the Women Who Make a Difference Awards, and was a great opportunity to recognize and celebrate all of the terrific women that go out of their way to make our community the wonderful place it is. Congratulations to all of our nominees and to our winners Jacquie Duffy, Lucy Lanzafame and Jill Sorensen, and thank you.
