Bursary for Indigenous Women Students

   Our Club joined with the Zonta Club of Brisbane Inc for a joint meeting on 2 March 2005 and to celebrate the presentation of the inaugural Bursary for Indigenous Women Students.  The Bursary provides finanical assistance to two women students and is coodinated between our two Clubs and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit at the University of Queensland.

The Dinner was held at the United Services Club and Zontians from both Clubs enjoyed the opportunity to mix and hear from one of our Award recipients.  A highlight also was to listen to Ms Jacki Huggins from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit who thanked the Clubs for this initiative and outlined the process followed to select the ultimate winners.

As a bonus on the night our District Governor, Ros Kinder, inducted new  Members into both the Clubs and we especially welcome our new members.
