Soroptimists help in CEMA project
The Cema, Chapel Street Park in Norton Canes was officially opened last week and many groups have supported the project, amongst them Chase Arts for Public Spaces [CHAPS] and Cannock Soroptimists. CHAPS member Sheila Harding has been working on this project for 12 years – the art work at the three entry points and the path now in place around the perimeter of the park were two of her initiatives. The park also has a children’s playground and an outdoor gym. Soroptimist involvement began more recently as a link with their Centenary project to plant 100 trees. Members went along to the Cema on a VERY cold day to dig VERY hard ground and help with the tree planting; it was great to see those trees thriving now!
