While it was game day for the men at Officer Football Club on Saturday 3 August, the ladies enjoyed a special Ladies Day event.

Pakenham MP Emma Vulin and Your Body Hub owner Christine Bailey and general manager Tara Keegel were among the speakers at the event, with $5 from every ticket going towards White Ribbon Australia.

Event organiser Chloe Balzary said the atmosphere on the day was positive.

“It was an event to celebrate the women in our area,” she said.

“Our committee were very helpful in setting up.

“It was just nice to get everyone together and celebrate the women who sacrifice a lot for our communities.”
