WIZO Western Australia - ONLINE  
"Women of Worth" Book Launch
Tuesday, 25th May 2010
 
At a glittering cocktail function attended by the wife of the Governor of Western Australia, Mrs. Julie Michael, the Lord Mayor of Perth, Mrs.Lisa Scaffidi, launched "WOMEN OF WORTH - A History of WIZO in Western Australia".
 
The book, researched over many years by its authors Louise Hoffman (pic left) and Miriam Landau (pic right), chronicles the story of the establishment of WIZO in Western Australia. From the visit of Mrs.Ida Ben Sion in 1937, which instituted WIZO and Rebecca Sieff, in 1948, to consolidate the new group, WIZO has become a driving force in the Perth community.
 
The children and grandchildren of these remarkable women sponsored the book which is available through the WIZO office
(08) 9276 7420 or wizowa@iinet.net.au

WIZO WA honoured outstanding women at its Annual General Meeting - women who find time in their busy lives to contribute to WIZO because of their belief in the value of its work.
 
Estelle Lin (pic right) was made a Life Governor of Ahuzat Yeladim in recognition of her many years as President of WIZO Aviva. Estelle's devotion to the group and enormous effort are highly valued.
 
Robyn Lieblich (pic left) and Anne Levitt (pic right) were made Councillors of Ahuzat Yeladim for their work with WIZO Golan and for maintaining the group's activities.
 
A special award of a Living Scholarship in his name was presented to Eli Karotkin. Eli chose to link his Bar Mitzvah with WIZO and we thank him for his compassion and his generosity.
 
Anne Topelberg OAM remains State President for another year.
