December News

Posted by Soroptimist International Southport on December 29, 2007 2:07 PM

After a very busy month of celebrations and fundraising in November, December proved to be a quieter month! Nonetheless we did hold two major functions.
The first was our International Evening held on the 10th December. Over 40 Soroptimists, including our Regional President - Val Moss - attended the meal which had an Italian theme this year. We enjoyed home-made minestrone soup, a selection of Italian meats, cheeses bread and salads, followed by Italian deserts. Naturally this was accompanied by a few glasses of 'vino' and, of course, agua minerale ( I think that is the Italian for it! ).
The evening raised £440 for the International President's appeal - The Hamlin Fistula Relief and Aid Fund in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The second event was our Christmas Celebration at the prestigious Royal Birkdale Golf Club. The evening hosted by, President Christine Rostron, featured a delicious buffet with entertainment. Sixty Soroptimists and guests enjoyed a very sociable, pleasant evening. The appearance of Santa added a seasonal touch especially for those who won raffle prizes.
As the year came to a close President Christine also decided to make a contribution of £200 to the Alchemy Centre who provide dinner and companionship for the needy on Christmas Day.

It only remains for me to wish you all a prosperous and happy New Year.
