Parkes Phoenix

All Ages, Shapes, Colours And Sizes

March 2, 2017 By Maggi Barnard


International Women’s Day is next week and Parkes Quota Club is inviting all women to a luncheon to celebrate women’s achievements.

Not only will guests enjoy a delicious chicken and prawn meal, but there will be great entertainment too.

This year we are featuring Women In the Arts. Artists Marilyn Nash, Jo Laurie and Rosalie Burns willl display some of their work and talk to us about it, we will listen to the magnificent voice of Cr Barbara Newton, learn about yoga from Monica Lea and enjoy a mini fashion parade from The Red Chandelier.

Set Sunday, 12th March aside for a wonderful time at the Parkes Services Club starting at 12pm.

Tickets at $30 can be purchased from Absolutely Hair at 207 Clarinda Street until 6th March, unless all sold out beforehand.

Get your friends toghether, and pick up your tickets to avoid disappointment, as we sold out very quickly last year.

Our Quota Club is always happy to wel- come new members. We work towards making the world a safer and better place. Money raised from this event will help us achieve these goals. Give me a call on 0407 486612 if you would like to know more about Quota, or chat to one of our members at the International Women’s Day luncheon.

International Women’s Day is held annually to celebrate the achievements of wom- en and to strive for gender equality.

This year’s theme is #BeBoldForChange and aims to encourage all of us to do all we can to accelerate gender parity and to help forge a better working world – a more inclusive, gender equal world.
