International Women's Day 2026

First Wave VIEW Club hosted their 10th IWD on 5th March at the MAAC (Marmion Angling & Aquatic Club). The weather was perfect and the amazing ocean view was enjoyed by 132 ladies. (78 of those were non-VIEW ladies).

We were joined by guest speakers TSF Julie Walker and Susan Hampton; together they enlighten the room about LFS. Michelle Fyfe APM (Former Deputy Commissioner of WA Police) was the keynote speaker. Michelle told us about her time in the police force and had the ladies captivated by her stories. Michelle has served the community in a variety of leadership roles over a career spanning close to 40 years

Other guests invited to the day, MLA for Kingsley Jessica Stojkovski and Real Estate Agent Carole Saville who are both keen sponsors to the club. It`s the Club`s main fundraising function and as you can imagine the efforts by the IWD committee is huge.
