Trish said that she was proud of every member as \u201cwe have all done what we can and supported each other when help was needed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At a socially distanced meeting in her garden, keeping to the rule of six, President Trish Smith was presented with flowers from Cannock Soroptimists as a small thank you from all club members for her leadership, her enthusiasm and the many ways in which she worked to keep members in touch with each other and active within the local community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/Trish-S-flowers-Large-Small-1-rotated-e1619720003229.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4667\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/Trish-S-flowers-Large-Small-1-rotated-e1619720003229-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/Trish-S-flowers-Large-Small-1-rotated-e1619720003229-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/Trish-S-flowers-Large-Small-1-rotated-e1619720003229-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/Trish-S-flowers-Large-Small-1-rotated-e1619720003229.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Photos attached: 1.Trish Smith, President of SI Cannock &amp; District with flowers from club members<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cannock Soroptimists have been lucky to be led by their President Trish Smith for two&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SI Cannock AGM | News | Blog | Events | SI Cannock and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cannock and District : Blog &amp; News : SI Cannock AGM : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cannock and District .
