\u00a0<\/em>Soroptimists Come Together<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>Soroptimists from around the country and beyond came together at the National Memorial Arboretum on Saturday 18th<\/sup> September to mark the unveiling of a new memorial representing our Federation, Soroptimist International of Great Britain & Ireland (SIGBI). SIGBI has 6000 members in 18 countries that as well as Britain and Ireland include clubs from Asia, The Caribbean and Malta. Members from SI Cannock & District were happy to be a part of the unveiling.<\/p>\n

SIGBI have had a plot at the Arboretum since 2002 but recently funds were raised by Soroptimists to install a sculpture by Graeme Mitcheson made of circles of blue glass formed to depict the SIGBI logo; a dynamic S. It sits on a pillar that shows the diverse membership SIGBI boasts, with all women portrayed standing shoulder to shoulder.<\/p>\n

As the annual conference has been cancelled for the last two years, it was a real treat to meet and catch up with old friends, which they did over afternoon tea following the ceremony.<\/p>\n
