International Women's Day - Daisy Salotti

Daisy Maud Salotti (1889-1970) was a generous benefactor who bequeathed funds to the Dulwich Senior Citizens Club (now known as the Dulwich Community Centre). These funds were used to extend the Club in 1974, including the addition of a hall at the rear of the original house. The Centre’s hall is named in her honour.

Daisy was also an accomplished pianoforte player, and through a bequest of $6,000 to the University of Adelaide, established the "Daisy Burmeister Salotti Pianoforte Scholarship" for students taking piano as their chief practical study. Daisy passed away in August 1970 and is buried at Glen Osmond Cemetery.
