The Phyllis McDonald Rose was named in honour of the founder of the Ionian Club in Launceston on its 50th Anniversary 1946 -1996.
The Ionian Club is an Australia wide women’s network which provides an opportunity to make new friends. The first Ionian Club was founded by Phyllis McDonald in Launceston on October 3rd 1946. As a newcomer to that city, she experienced the loneliness and isolation that many women felt when moving to a new location. Fortunately for many thousands of women since, in similar circumstances, Phyllis was able to form a group that supported one another and enjoyed each other’s company and interests.
