Random Meetings

I had planned on catching up with one of the new girls I had met at my second cafe night. For coffee and the all important window shopping trip . She sent me a message Sunday morning to let me know that she was at another coffee meeting and how she would love me to meet some of the other girls there. Needless to say within an hour I'm jumping into the car that I had  borrowed from a good friend and headed over to "cafe Aroma" in Werribee. honestly its not that far
No sooner than I get there I'm introduced to Alex the co-creator of the group and Amy, another girl I hadn't met before and we head inside to meet the rest of the little group. This little group is 20 to 30 of the most diverse collection of souls I've ever met, a complete alphabet soup of diversity coming together to offer support for each other and the topic of the day!!

How to achieve the best results, from the proposed  relocation of the train station.
with the group discussing ideas for the footpaths roadways and intersections to ease the traffic congestion problem they have now


I know. Your thinking to yourself  "an odd topic of discussion for a gender diversity group" surely shouldn't they me proposing that the red stoplight is changed to pink.
but then again why not , its an important proposal that will affect all of the citizens of Wyndham however we identify ourselves
Of course we discussed the flag raising ceremony that will be happening shortly, and ways to support each others business interests and how best to  provide a safe community for all.


I was totally blown away, by just how diverse this group really  is , 
Shhhhhh. they even have straight people there. 
  I know shocking , and they were really nice too. Not at all like I was led to believe.
