Meru Garden Project; Fistula Foundation UK; Staffordshire Down\u2019s Syndrome Group; St Giles Hospice; Soroptimist International Emergency Fund; Books4Home; Cannock Soup Kitchen and Cannock Food bank \u2013 in fact, looking back on the year, she was amazed at how much they had actually achieved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>President Carole has now been a member of SI Cannock for 30 years, working to enable, educate and empower women in so many ways &#8211; it was a complete surprise to her when Past President Lynne Tuckley presented her with a certificate, signed by the President of SI Great Britain and Ireland, marking her 30 years of service.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2017\/04\/Carole-easter-eggs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1000\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2017\/04\/Carole-easter-eggs-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Carole &amp;
