Community Open Day – In Conversation with Wendy Morrow

Step back through 75 years of Guide Dogs WA and hear the stories that shaped who we are today.

Join us for a special morning of history as part of Guide Dogs WA’s 75th Anniversary celebrations, centred around the remarkable firsthand stories of Wendy Morrow, one of Guide Dogs WA’s original Kennel Maids.

Wendy will share her memories and experiences from the early years of Guide Dogs WA, offering a rare personal insight into what life was like behind the scenes and how the organisation grew from its beginnings.
