WIZO Victoria - ONLINE
Sunday, 18th July 2010
Thirteen gorgeous candidates representing their WIZO Groups, along
with family and friends, were astounded when WIZO Victoria President, Anita
Bejerano, announced that this year's event had raised a staggering grand
total of $313,982!
Following the Crowning Ceremony at the McKinnon Secondary College hall,
all the children enjoyed a carnival and not even a wet Melbourne afternoon
could dampen their spirits.
Esther Wiesenfeld recently celebrated her 80th Birthday and,
asked friends and family to donate to WIZO Tsafon and Magen David Adom.
Many happy returns, Esther, and "THANK YOU!" from the people of Israel!
