The Provincial Council of Women of Manitoba, Inc. celebrated local inspiring women in a big way last evening at the Khartum Shrine House honouring four individual women and federate members for their service to the community. The venue was packed with women who know how to party and who know how to work hard to get what they want from the system.
According to the current President, Marilyn McGonigal, "The many advances in women's equality over the years never would have been achieved without women firmly, persistently and sometimes aggressively demanding that reluctant government change our laws and their ways. In today's global economic circumstances, advocating for elusive equality for so many excluded women, locally and worldwide is critically important."
The food was catered by Wayne's Specialty Foods - very delicious.
The evening was one of fun, education and just a great feeling of being surrounded by so many wise, wonderful women.
The four women honoured were Dianna Bussey, from the Salvation Army, Sharon Taylor, Wolseley Family Place, Beatrice Watson - Immigrant Women's Association and Valentina Val Noseworthy, Ukrainian Women's Association in Canada (Manitoba Executive).
The women were presented with crystal vases with each of their names inscribe on them.
Fornmer broadcaster Lesley Hughes did a fabulous job emceeing the evening.
Thanks to the hardworking planning committee: Maxine Balbon, Mary Scott, Maj. Karen Hoeft, Shirley Walker, Jo-Anne Yuskin and Marilyn McGonigal.
