The first club President was Fanny Cromar Bruce, a journalist who had moved from England to Canada where she met her Aberdonian husband. The couple returned to live and work in Aberdeen. On 9th March 2024 the club celebrated its 95th Anniversary with a Civic Reception and celebratory afternoon tea hosted by Lord and Lady Provost, David and Hazel Cameron in the Town House. Other representatives of Aberdeen City Council joined us as well as Soroptimist friends.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5854 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/aberdeen\/files\/752c8921-6d15-4150-8fa6-053d8d232f99-300x139.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/aberdeen\/files\/752c8921-6d15-4150-8fa6-053d8d232f99-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/aberdeen\/files\/752c8921-6d15-4150-8fa6-053d8d232f99.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To mark International Women&#8217;s Day on 8th March pots of spring bulbs prepared by club members were distributed to visitors in the Local Duthie Park.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5853 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/aberdeen\/files\/2024-03-08-Club-95th-Duthie-Park-8-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/aberdeen\/files\/2024-03-08-Club-95th-Duthie-Park-8-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/aberdeen\/files\/2024-03-08-Club-95th-Duthie-Park-8.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>High tea was enjoyed in a local hotel followed by a Diva Tribute night at the theatre!
