An army of volunteers is needed to help the day run smoothly, and Soroptimists form a substantial part of the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>In the beautiful gardens, Soroptimist stewards&#8217; hi-vis vests caught the eye whenever visitors had a question. Most of the time we knew the answer!<\/p>\n<p>On such a lovely sunny day there was constant activity in the caf\u00e9, set up in the children&#8217;s dining room. Visitors made short work of the cakes and scones baked by CHET staff. So Soroptimists on the cash till were kept busy. Clearing away, replenishing supplies &#8211; and cleaning up &#8211; were never-ending tasks. On the raffle stall, business was brisk.<\/p>\n<p>All proceeds from the day go to CHET. SI Crosby has supported this local educational residential centre for children for decades.<\/p>\n<p>From CHET: &#8220;A huge thank you to all those who were able to help with our Garden Open Day &#8230; We could not run our events without your help and are, as always, extremely grateful!&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;3&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1751389283394-76c6c888-e03c-6&#8243; include=&#8221;7624,7619,7620,7622,7621,7625,7626,7623&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Crosby&#8217;s Soroptimists turned out in force in support of Crosby Hall Educational Trust (CHET)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":7628,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Soroptimists, Gardens and Cakes | News | Blog | Events | SI Crosby<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Crosby : Blog &amp; News : Soroptimists, Gardens and Cakes : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Crosby .
