\"\"<\/a>Bridgend Soroptimists had a wonderful evening helping long-time member, Frances Rees, celebrate her 90th<\/sup> birthday. Frances was delighted with the many cards and greetings she received. She said, \u201cIt has been wonderful to share this celebration with my Soroptimist friends. The lovely birthday cake and glass of fizz have made the evening very special. Thank you to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frances, a farmer by profession, has been a Soroptimist for almost 40 years. She has served as President of SI Bridgend three times, in 1991-1992, in 2000-2001, and in a three-way job share in 2017-2018 with Lily Laesser and Eurwen Richards to celebrate the clubs 70th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n

An extremely active member, Frances has been particularly interested in environmental issues, leading the way in getting discussions about food miles on the agenda and encouraging members to shop local. She regularly attends meetings and recently led a nature ramble around Cowbridge during one of the club\u2019s Fun and Friendship gatherings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
