The fantastic official trailer for \u201c100 years of Soroptimist Heroines\u201d started the morning.\u00a0\u00a0 The trailer consisted of photos of individual members and clubs around the world and photos of members in costume assuming the persona of the \u201cHeroines\u201d they were representing in the play that followed.<\/p>\n<h4>Looking Back<\/h4>\n<p>Sue Challoner has written a play detailing important Soroptimists and events from the inception of Soroptimist International to the present day.\u00a0\u00a0 Our \u201cheroines\u201d played their parts well and were very convincing with their different accents!\u00a0\u00a0 Well done to Sue Challoner, for an informative and entertaining play, to the Soroptimist \u201cHeroines\u201d who played their roles well and to Penni Nicholas who put together the trailer. Which you can watch again on Region Facebook. The play is to be recorded for clubs to use if they wish<\/p>\n<p>A minute\u2019s silence was held in memory of three members who had passed away Noreen Yule, Lucille M Hughes and Jan Walker.\u00a0\u00a0 I have lovely memories of Noreen who befriended me at my first Soroptimist lunch and made me feel \u201cat home\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Then Louise read the Soroptimist Pledge in honour of Barbara Dixon who would have been the International President.\u00a0\u00a0 I found the Soroptimist Pledge, which I had never heard before, to be very moving.<\/p>\n<h4>Movng Forward<\/h4>\n<p>Dishi Attwood spoke about the SIGBI Growth Plan \u2013 she said she\u2019d had a good look through all our project action forms and was very positive about our activities and gave lots of helpful tips for those reporting.\u00a0 Dishi said that we needed to quantify our achievements \u2013 try to say how many women or children may have been helped.\u00a0\u00a0 This key information of numbers is what is used.\u00a0\u00a0 Louise thanked her for clear and inspiring presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Our next meeting is Saturday 5<sup>th<\/sup> June on Zoom and should be another innovative meeting as President Louise tells us she has some exciting ideas.\u00a0\u00a0 So watch this space!<\/p>\n<p><em>Debbie Moulding<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Region Team Communications<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regional Meeting Blog &#8211; 13th February 2021 Many thanks to President Louise for hosting another&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":559,"featured_media":6622,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-region-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Region Meeting 13th February Blog | News | Blog | Events | SI Cheshire, North Wales and Wirral<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cheshire, North Wales and Wirral : Blog &amp; News : Region Meeting 13th February Blog : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cheshire, North Wales and Wirral .
