Reunion Lunch - for Founding, Past, and Present Members

Join us as we mark a monumental milestone - the 10th Anniversary of Melbourne Women's Foundation. 

This reunion is a heartfelt thank you to the extraordinary women who laid the foundation for a decade of impact. 

From our beginnings in July 2014, when 87 pioneers believed in the power of collective philanthropy, to the vibrant community we are today, your contributions have been the cornerstone of our success.

• Speakers: Be inspired by our members Cat Fay and Kate Fazio, sharing insights into the transformative power of women united by purpose.
• A Walk Down Memory Lane: Pat and Gillian invite you to reminisce and reconnect. Join us in celebrating the achievements of the past decade.
• Looking Ahead: As we look to the future, let's celebrate the enduring bonds, shared commitment and vision that continue to inspire our work.

Together, we continue to empower, inspire, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of women.

DENMARK HOUSE

Denmark House is a small piece of Denmark in the middle of the Melbourne CBD, and host to the Danish Club – possibly the oldest social club in Australia. Offering the best of Denmark: New Nordic cuisine served among Danish furniture design in an attractive atmosphere of Danish music and ‘hygge’ – that quintessential Danish concept of ‘cosiness’.
The New Nordic cuisine is one of the leading gastronomic experiences in the world. Indulge with us in ‘smørrebrød’ – the traditional Danish open sandwich with an Australian twist.
