Cannock and District this year. The Annual event had an American theme with the room decorated with red, white and blue balloons and American stars and stripes flags. Members of the club lit candles to mark each of the 5 federations of this international organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Harrisburg, on the east coast of America was the first friendship link of the club, establishing the link in 1967.\u00a0 Former club member Margaret Lyons was the president of SI Cannock in 1984 and had strong links with Harrisburg. That year Margaret received a powder compact as a gift from their president, which this year Margaret passed on\u00a0to Cannock\u2019s Team President Trish Smith for safe keeping.<\/p>\n<p>A special message was read out by Lakhwinder Thompson, the Harrisburg link coordinator, wishing the club well, finishing with the words of Eleanor Roosevelt &#8220;Women are like tea bags, we don&#8217;t know our true strength until we are in hot water&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Following the America themed meal, guests were entertained by singer Mick Cartwright \u2013 everything had an American link. Trish Smith thanked Mick for ensuring everyone sang, danced and racked their brains to remember the release dates of the songs he sang.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Mick-Cartwright-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5096\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Mick-Cartwright-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Mick-Cartwright-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Mick-Cartwright-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Photos: singer Mick Cartwright with Team President Trish Smith<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Margaret-Lyons-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5095\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Margaret-Lyons-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Margaret-Lyons-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/01\/Margaret-Lyons-Trish-Smith-Int-Eve-23.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Past President Margaret Lyons with Team President Trish Smith<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Barns was the setting for the International Evening of S.I.
