gooey feeling. But in reality finding the perfect ‘consumer

burden and dread to the festive season.

normally consider! Face it, your mother, grandmother, wife,
sister or aunt probably has all the toasters, bed sheets and
toiletries they need. This year why not think outside the square
and give a gift that lasts forever.

their name inscribed on the beautiful glass wall this Christmas. Taking pride of place in
the grounds of the heritage Queen Victoria Women’s Centre on Lonsdale Street, the

Centre website, along with an online ‘significance statement’ which presents the
achievements of the nominee. To search the wonderful women on the Shilling Wall and
