Dear Friends, Alumni and Fellows

It’s been an exciting first six months for me as the new General Manager of the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre, with a refreshed staff team bedding down a great range of programs and initiatives for women. We continue to work closely with the other ten women’s organisations in the building on activities like our International Women’s Day information market in the QV Square.

Hundreds of women (and many men) grabbed a showbag, checked out the information available and listened to entertainment. We’ve also been busy launching the Shilling Wall and Garden and planning future events and programs that we’ll be launching over the next year. We have enjoyed meeting so many of you at the Centre and are looking forward to seeing you all at a workshop or event over the next few months.

Don’t miss an opportunity to improve your financial knowledge, at one of our Securing Your Financial Future Workshops and Seminars for women. And keep November free in your diaries, as the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre join women throughout Victoria celebrate the Centenary of Women’s Suffrage. We will shortly release details of the Centre’s 100 Years Since Women Got the Vote event program. This newsletter will be released bimonthly with updates from August 2008.
