International Women's Day

WINNIPEG FREE PRESS - SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 2020 7 Celebrating International Women's Day EACH FOR EQUAL Watch ours at MyStory.EngGeoMB.ca EVERY ENGINEER HAS A STORY. At the same time, Women, Wine & Food serves as an important fundraiser for Women's Health Clinic, which also provides services to non-binary, two- spirit, queer and trans people. Last year's event brought in more than $40,000 for the cause. "The money makes such a big difference in our programs. We provide the full spectrum of reproductive health care, so it helps us fill out our services in a really meaningful way," said executive director Nadine Sookermany. "For example, we spend approximately $120,000 a year giving out free birth control and safer sex supplies. This event absolutely helps us to do that kind of work and to fill any gaps." In addition to raising funds for a great cause, the outing provides a memorably delicious experience for all who attend. "It's a fun mix and mingle event. Lots of people from the community show up, so it's a great way to connect. Of course, the chefs are amazing too," Sookermany said. "Everyone comes together to make this fabulous night and help Women's Health Clinic. It's really amazing to have everyone in the room coming together for this singular cause." Women, Wine & Food takes place on Saturday, March 7 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are available through www. eventbrite.ca.
