strong women are back

Due to the enthusiasm shown for their last women's event - Celebrating Strong Women of the Hills – the DRMC is holding a music/arts forum/network on Tuesday 28th April at 7.30pm to discuss future plans for women in music and the arts and what you, as women, would like to see developed now and in the future.

The DRMC are interested in ideas both small and large, individual and group. The DRMC are a dynamic group and their Celebrating Strong Women of the Hills was an inspirational event for women and men alike.

Bev McAlister, Me, Gwen De Lacy and Yvonne De Lacy at the very successful history forum held last year at Mont de Lancey as part of the Strong Women in the Hills series.

If you’re interested in women in music and the arts in the future, this is the forum for you.

strong women of the hills – 8th november

I’m looking forward to going to the Strong Women of the Hills - Celebrating 100 Years of Women's suffrage event in November. The first event, a history forum at Mont De Lancey was great and a fantastic learning experience of the life and times of women living in the hills at the turn of the (last) century. (see blog entry for more info).

It is a project I’ve keenly followed and supported in a historic year for women in Victoria and the suffrage movement. I encourage you to come along for what will be a fabulous occasion.
