Redland City Mayor Karen Williams has announced a major fundraising event to support Redlanders affected by domestic and family violence.
Cr Williams said ‘Dîner en Rouge’ to be held from 6:30pm on Saturday 29 November, would be a night of fine food to raise funds for a cause dear to her heart.
“Even in a City as beautiful as ours this is an important issue, with Redlands accounting for around three per cent of all domestic and family violence protection orders applied for across Queensland,” Cr Williams said.
