Some of the participants on the International Women’s Day Zoom event<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We organised a ‘Zoominar’ to celebrate International Women’s Day – the theme being ‘Making a Difference’.\u00a0 \u00a0It was attended by 45 women – members, friends and speakers.\u00a0 Our keynote speakers were\u00a0 Katherine Fletcher MP for South Ribble and Lucy Candy, manager of the Preston domestic violence refuge.\u00a0 Preston members Barbara Brown and Barbara Holroyd both spoke about someone they found inspirational.\u00a0 Barbara H’s choice was Greta Thunberg and Barbara B’s was a Australian lady called Sara Henderson whose life story would make a tv serial.\u00a0 Another Preston member, Audrey Forster told us about all the voluntary work she has done over the years.\u00a0 And there has been loads.\u00a0 There was a guest appearance – thanks to jiggery pokery and technology\u00a0 – from Edith Rigby, the Preston suffragette who died in 1950 and the event closed with the final word going to a man.\u00a0 ‘Never underestimate the power of a woman.’\u00a0 Wise words indeed!<\/p>\n

All these women have made or still make a difference to many people.\u00a0 We can be proud.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
