Cr Karen Pensabene, Mayor of Strathfield
Hello Strathfield,
It is always an honour to attend the Citizenship Ceremonies and I was fortunate enough to preside over the induction of nearly 80 new citizens in our LGA on Monday. A very warm welcome to you all. I look forward to seeing you at community activities and festivities here in Strathfield. I wish to congratulate Jason Yat-sen Li who was re-elected Member for Strathfield at the NSW State election on Saturday 25 March.
Another huge win this week was Strathfield Cricket Club winning the Shires 1st Grade Grand Final against Burwood Briars. It was such an exciting match as they needed two wickets in the final over to win the game and secured the second wicket on the last ball! Congratulations Strathfield Cricket Club, we are all enormously proud of you.
As always, if you have a good news story or in need of any help, please do not hesitate to email me cr.kpensabene@strathfield.nsw.gov.au or contact my office on 9748 9924.

Aileen Alpen, Foreign Correspondent
We conclude Women’s History Month with the story of the trailblazing Aileen Alpen. Journalist, lecturer, broadcaster, linguist and musician, Aileen Alpen travelled the world, settling in Poland where she considered herself the only Australian resident. From its border with Germany she reported on the shocking expulsion of thousands of Jews after Kristallnacht during November 1938. She was broadcasting live on air as Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939 and was rushed into hiding. ‘Safe’ in London, she was bombed during the Blitz. Aileen was the daughter of musician, Herr Hugo Alpen of Mozart House, 57 Churchill Avenue, Strathfield.
