On the auspicious day dedicated to celebrating women the world over, the Club felt that it was important to celebrate the achievements and resilience of Ghanaian women in general and the esteemed examples of six particular women who have made significant moves in their areas of operation.
The women were presented with potted yellow roses meant to be symbols of friendship, joy and empowerment to them and hoped that the gesture will serve as a reminder of the vital role each advantaged woman plays in advancing the rights and empowerment of less privileged women in our society.
