Dear members and friends of BPW North Lakes

Our annual Candle Lighting Ceremony is taking place on Friday March 6 at 6pm and we would like to invite you to join us for this special event. 

Our ceremony is a chance to celebrate, remember and recognise women across the world as we continue to advocate for change. Lighting candles is not just a token gesture but a real declaration to let women know, both locally and globally, that as an organisation we’re here for you, we’re listening and you’re not alone.

This year BPW is celebrating 90 years of empowering women around the world. Our club has been serving women in the community since 2015 and our members are proud to be part of an organisation that is recognised by the United Nations, supports the equality of women and is influential in changing outdated viewpoints for the better. 

BPW is aligned with the 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals and as a club we have decided to support number 15 - Life on Land.

At the end of 2019 and the start of 2020 Australia has faced one of the most devastating, destructive and heartbreaking bushfire seasons on record and our support and concern goes out to the many families in need. 

In Queensland, 75% of the state is facing a greater threat. The slow moving, relentless threat of drought. Women in regional Queensland are doing it tough every day, doing the best they can to provide for their families. 

Which is why this year we have chosen to work with the Queensland Country Women’s Association and have nominated their Public Rural Crisis Fund as our chosen charity for the Candle Lighting Ceremony. 

All funds raised will be going to the fund which provides food vouchers to those families who need them most and assists with a lot of other necessities.  

QCWA President Christine King is our guest speaker and will share with us the inspirational stories of women who are facing hardship in these areas and how we can support them. 

We look forward to seeing you there.
