On Friday, March 7, the Meaford Hospital Foundation and the Meaford Culture Foundation join to host a tribute to International Women’s Day from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Meaford Hall. This unique event will celebrate the strength, resilience, and creativity of women through inspiring storytelling, community connection, and a vendor marketplace.
The event will feature four local women from diverse backgrounds:
- Penny Eizenga: Director, Writer, Producer
- Susanne Langmuir: Founder of BITE Beauty
- Bernadette Mervyn: Meaford Hospital Manager
- Megan Silk: Founder of GingerBug
Each speaker will share their personal journey of triumphs, struggles, and perseverance in the face of adversity, with an interactive Q&A to follow. These powerful stories of determination will highlight the contributions of women in our community and beyond.
After the panel discussion, guests will have the opportunity to explore a vibrant marketplace featuring women-owned businesses. The marketplace will showcase a range of products, from artisan crafts to innovative services, and offer attendees a chance to shop local and support women entrepreneurs. Additionally, there will be culinary delights to sample, highlighting the diverse flavours and talents of women in the culinary arts.
The event supports the Meaford Culture Foundation and the Meaford Hospital Foundation, two vital organizations working to enhance the cultural vibrancy and healthcare services in the Meaford community. All proceeds from the event will benefit these two foundations, helping them continue their important work.
A new element added this year is the Total Refresh raffle, a one-of-a-kind experience that promises to transform you from head to toe. The lucky winner will receive a complete makeover package worth over $2,000, which includes a series of luxurious experiences and services designed to refresh and rejuvenate. Raffle tickets are $20.
