Saturday, March 7, 2009 – International Womens’ Day celebration

On Saturday, March 7, 2009, the Town of Richmond Hill, Ontario will host its inaugural celebration of International Womens’ Day. A small committee of dynamic women has come together to organise the event. It will be held at the new Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts in our historic downtown area on Yonge St.

The event will be a combination of a brief forum led by local female dignitaries which will lead into the viewing of the film, “Iron Jawed Angels” (a mainstream film about how women of our grandmother’s generation fought to win our right to vote.) This will be followed by a networking event at a nearby restaurant and pub.

We are gathering interest and some donations of goods and services. We are looking for any product or support which you might provide.

Angel Freedman is the Chairperson of Richmond Hill’s International Women’s Day. For additional information please contact her at: angelfreedman [at] rogers [dot] com.
