Since there was enough interest from the poll and with the majority available on Friday, September 26, we've gone ahead with planning and confirming a private group tour of the Parliament Buildings starting at 11:00 am, with lunch following at the Parliamentary Dining Room.
The tour is free and 45-minutes long. Everyone will pay for their own lunch charges.
Please RSVP by no later than Monday, September 22, so we can confirm final numbers for the tour and lunch. Also, if you will need assistance with mobility for the tour, please let us know as we must notify them ahead of time.
We look forward to this event and hope that many ladies will be able to join us!
