Crosby’s Soroptimists, led by President Sandy Taylor, put on their dancing shoes at the conclusion of their 74th Charter Dinner. Members and their guests danced the night away to live music provided by talented actor/singer James Waud.
The Club welcomed special guests The Mayor and Mayoress of Sefton, Councillor Paul Cummins and Mrs Carol Cummins, South Lancashire’s Regional President Denise Baldwin, and the presidents of sister clubs Southport and Bootle.
President Sandy was delighted that Mr Ram Dhannapuneni, Consultant Congenital Cardiac Surgeon at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, was able to attend. Mr Dhannapuneni was representing his colleague Mr Nelson Alphonso whose work, both locally and overseas, has been a central feature of the club’s fundraising this year. A very special guest was President Sandy’s grand-daughter Daisy who, as a baby, benefited from cardiac surgery at the hospital. 
“Our Club’s Charter Dinner really was a relaxed and friendly occasion”, said President Sandy. “Teamwork and hard work resulted in a night to remember. Thank you to my Dinner Secretary Ann, Toastmistress Margaret, and all members of SI Crosby.”
