Postponed International Women's Day rescheduled
Franklin women were not the only ones to be disappointed by the lockdown at the beginning of March, it effected many events.
However all is not lost, even though Franklin was sad not to be able to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 6th, we are rescheduling the event and connecting it with another milestone in the history of NZ and women’s success. Suffrage Day is Sept 19 and our celebration will be combined with this day but we will celebrate it on Saturday Sept 18th at the Pukekohe Cosmopolitan Club, SO PLEASE SAVE the DATE.
The programme will remain much the same as it was going to be on March 6th . There was so much enthusiasm at the rehearsal the week before the IWD celebration and I know we will have that in buckets full in Sept.
The tickets purchased for IWD will be honoured for September 18th. However if a refund is required please make the request to bpwfranklin.tickets@gmail.com and please provide the bank account number so direct credits can be made. All the people working on this are volunteers so please be patient as there may be some delay in getting the refunds sorted.
We look forward to your continued enthusiasm and support for this event.
Remember to SAVE THE DATE Sept 18th

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
