Celebrate women at IWD event
WOMEN from across the region are being invited to come and celebrate International Women’s Day at a special luncheon to be held in Mareeba on 7 March.
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day, which is marked annually on 8 March, also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality and this year’s theme is “Accelerate Action”.
The Mareeba event is being hosted by The Express Newspaper and Mareeba Lions Club and will be held at the Mareeba International Club on Friday 7 March from 12 noon to 2pm.
The event will feature a wonderful lunch, live music by Shandell, lucky door prizes and plenty of laughs with the crew from Comedy Tours.
Attendees will also hear from two speakers – Monica Madrid from Bloom and Grow Physiotherapy and Nadine Cockrem, the author of The Hope Deck.
Monica will give the audience an insight into her special interest in women’s health and paediatrics and why she established Bloom and Grow Physiotherapy, a clinic that provides services in women’s pelvic health, a specialised area of physiotherapy, for women through all life stages.
The clinic also provides physiotherapy services for babies, toddlers and young children.
An accomplished photographer, musician, artist, business owner, and entrepreneur, Nadine will give a presentation on her successful Hope Deck, a 44-piece affirmation card set designed to inspire self-discovery and empowerment.
Nadine says she is committed to helping others connect with their authentic selves, offering transformative workshops and one-on-one healing sessions.
Tickets for the Mareeba luncheon are now available online and close on 3 March. Go to www.trybooking.com/CZAIV
