Saturday 15th September 2018

The Suffrage Event was initiated by BPW Franklin Inc and the planning committee chaired by Virginia Warren of BPW Franklin.  Celebrations included an Expo of 24 organisations at Franklin: The Centre, a parade along King Street culminating in a multicultural afternoon tea at the Town Hall.
 
Congratulations to the organising committee for just a well run event. It was a beautiful day and great to see so much support from the community.
Thanks to our BPW sisters for joining in with our celebrations.  Emily  (BPW Tamaki) and Bobson, official BPW photographers for the day and BPW Huntly and Districts for walking in the parade with us.
