The Soroptimists acted as models wearing a variety of vintage outfits displaying what women wore from 1860 to 1988. Most of the outfits were modelled by ladies aged 60-90 showing you can look glamorous at any age. Soroptimists are part of a global movement working to educate, empower and enable opportunities for women and girls, helping them to achieve their potential. A cheque was presented by President Madeleine to Mary Smith, a representative of Mercy Ships, at a recent club meeting in Glasgow.
