Members of SI Glasgow City were delighted to welcome 17 non Soroptimist guests at the recent ‘Friendship Evening’ celebrating 90 years of Soroptimism in Glasgow.
The evening, which was structured to allow ample time for guests to meet and chat with members, started with the cutting of a birthday cake by Liz, a member with over 45 years of service, and Annie, our most recent member. After Soroptimist International Scotland South Regional President, Pat, had proposed a congratulatory toast to the 90 years of Soroptimism in Glasgow guests, members listened to two short presentations by club members. The first being a short history of Soroptimism in Glasgow over the past 90 years, while the other outlined a recent member’s experience of being a Soroptimist.
Long service awards were presented to Club members Anne and Ruthmary in recognition of the 35 years service each had given to Soroptimism in Glasgow and then guests and members were invited to complete a literary quiz.
All attendees enjoyed tea/coffee and birthday cake, made by club member Caroline, along with a selection of delectable home – made cakes donated by members. A great evening of friendship was enjoyed by all who attended.
