Dear Members & Colleagues Appointment of Justice Susan Crennan to the High Court Looking forward to seeing you at some of the following October events. Louise Byrne 13 October 2005, Thursday 6-8pm Members Only invitation to Private Political Luncheons. Following the success of our lunch series last year, the Labor & Liberal Party lunches earlier this month, we have a few places available for 12th October Cross Benches lunch at the Strangers Dining Room NSW Parliament House. This will provide an opportunity for WLANSW members to network with State female MPs in an informal environment to discuss their views and their party's policies on various issues. CMS One-Day Sydney CPD Conferences: WLANSW member discount rates included in the pricing saving you over 20% on standard registration fees. Call for replacement Committee of Management representative: Judge Rainbow Memorial Fund Inc. The Judge Rainbow Memorial Fund Inc. operates a half way house in Glebe for ex-prisoners and men on parole or remand. WLA has had a representative on this committee for more than 20 years as the Fund has also previously provided accommodation to women ex-prisoners and for mothers of infants who had a period of their sentence to serve. The women’s facility at Ashfield was closed early in the 1990s when demand for the service diminished, as the women were shown to be better able to find their own accommodation on release. The Committee meets once a month at 5.30 pm on the third Tuesday of the month at Wigram Road, Glebe in the cottage attached to the house. The current president is (retired DCJ) Harvey Cooper and the vice president is Lynn Rainbow the daughter of the founder of the fund, Judge Alfred Rainbow. The committee includes members of the judiciary, state parliamentarians (current and retired), journalists and other business people, both active and retired.The Committee is looking to welcome a new WLA representative to provide fresh ideas to assist in the ongoing functions of the committee and the services provided by the Fund.
