Presidents’ message

This year, for the second year running Margaret Brandon & Linda Darnell are sharing the post and responsibility of Club President.

Last year, 2010/11 Margaret Brandon chose the Club charity which was Florence Nightingale Hospice, the local hospice for Aylesbury.  Margaret has had strong links with the Hospice over many years and welcomed the opportunity to support the Hospice during her year as President.

Through our fundraising events this year where one of our members held a plant sale which raised £825.00 (amazing).  We held a Quiz Night and two of our members took part in a Midnight Walk.  Altogether we were able to present Florence Nightingale Hospice with a cheque for £2,250.

After such a busy year last year, this year we look forward to a year which focuses more on the social side of Soroptimism within the Club. 

One reason for this is that Joanna Swift, a Past President of our club, will be President of London Chilterns Region in 2012-13.  Joanna will be inagurated at Conference in Belfast in October 2012 and the Club looks forward to supporting her through a very busy and exciting time.
