3 members of SI Cannock & District were recently presented with long service certificates. At the AGM, out-going Team Presidents Carole Holdcroft and Eileen Cryer were pleased to acknowledge the 115 years of service to Soroptimist International – and the Cannock & District club – by three of their members.
Maggie Shore received a certificate marking 30 years as a Soroptimist. Georgina Ward received a certificate for her 40 years as a member of the organisation and Dora Leighton’s 45 years as a Soroptimist was honoured.
Georgina and Dora joined when times were very different to the way they are today, they have both served on many committees and have taken the role of club President. They both continue to take an active part in club life with Dora now 97 and Georgina now 90 years of age attending all of the club’s functions and adding their views to discussion and debate.
Team Presidents Carole and Eileen thanked all three members for their continued loyalty and service to Soroptimism, a worldwide organisation which aims to transform the lives of women and girls through a global network of members and international partnerships.
