The Royal Wedding
What better way to round off Project Sierra than with a Royal Connection.
SI East Grinstead member Angela Edwards, inspired by the currant knitting craze, produced her version of a knitted William and Kate which was then raffled at the SE Region meeting raising £93.00 for Project Sierra.
The knitted couple were then displayed along with Soroptimist Sashes and leaflets about project Sierra in the window of a local haberdashery shop to raise awareness in the town.
President Susie Forbes and members came along and a photographer from the East Grinstead Observer took the photo and did a report which made the front page the week of the Royal Wedding.
Great publicity for Soroptimist International
