Supporting Women's Day

Carolina Anderson signs a postcard for the International Women's Day event hosted recently at the Shepherd's Crook by Halton Hills Amnesty International, to which her dad belongs. The group collected hundreds of signatures on letters and postcard appeals on behalf of women in Afghanistan, Darfur Sudan, El Salvador, China and Canada while local female musicians played to a full house. The musicians included classical wind trio Marissa Kidd, Hayley Burgess and Hjordis Stockinger from Acton High School, Wendi Hunter and her group Second Wind, and Sarah Burton of Oakville.
