Womanfest and Olympic Cellars Winery will jointly host their 11th annual International Women’s Day celebration at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, at Olympic Cellars Winery, 255410 Highway 101, Port Angeles.

International Women’s Day (Sunday, March 8) is a global celebration of the economic, political and social achievements of women, past, present and future. Show your support by joining Womanfest for dinner.

A variety of homemade soups, fresh bread and cookies will be provided. No host wine also will be available. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The suggested donation for dinner is $10.

Proceeds will be donated to one local and one international charity.

On the local front, the recipient of a portion of monies raised will be Lower Elwha Family Advocacy Program, which delivers and refers services to American Indian, Alaskan Native and Lower Elwha Tribe community members who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and awareness about teen pregnancy, sexual assault and domestic violence.

Beatriz Arakawa from the Lower Elwha Family Advocacy Program will speak about the program and its local impacts.

The International organization selected to benefit from the evening will be Prevention International: No Cervical Cancer — a nonprofit, volunteer medical service organization whose mission is to create sustainable programs that prevent cervical cancer around the world.

The evening’s emcee will be Sandy Ulf, president of Womanfest. In addition, Lisa Martin, owner of Olympic Cellars Winery, also will donate a portion of the wine sales for the evening to LEFAP and PINCC.

Womanfest is a local charitable organization that has been sponsoring programs, workshops, lectures, concerts and other community events, and providing women of the Olympic Peninsula with empowering experiences and friendships for over 30 years. Womanfest provides financial support for women-centered projects, including annual donations to woman-focused causes and scholarships.

In 2015, the Womanfest scholarship committee is particularly interested in receiving scholarship applications from mature women who require financial assistance to realize mid-life or transitional educational goals.
