As we start a new year for Soroptimist International Guernsey, it\u2019s good to reflect on the past year.\u00a0 We have had a fantastic year under Sue\u2019s leadership.\u00a0 Please join me in thanking her for working tirelessly and leading our Club into the good place we have reached today.<\/p>\n
What a privilege it is to be in the driving seat of this wonderful Club, with a membership of generous and industrious people.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m planning to attend the SIGBE Annual Conference in Cardiff at the end of October, and would be pleased if any other members feel able to join me.<\/p>\n
There will be a couple of differences in the coming year, but most of our activities will generally follow the usual format.\u00a0 There are two important documents to share with our members at this AGM, they are the membership Code of Conduct and Safeguarding document, which we\u2019ll circulate by email for you to read at home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the President\u2019s charity this year, I have chosen the Guernsey Bereavement Service for a couple of reasons.\u00a0 Firstly, it\u2019s a charity close to my heart and secondly they do excellent work, getting alongside people through their time of grief and loss.\u00a0 Guernsey Bereavement Service doesn\u2019t have as high a profile in the Island as some charities.\u00a0 Once people have been supported by the bereavement counsellors, there is a tendency to keep quiet about it.<\/p>\n
However, I\u2019m looking forward to the Liberation Tea party for our older adult friends that\u2019ll be happening in May.\u00a0 Also the annual quiz in the autumn and our Club building on the success of last year’s 16 days of activism for the elimination of gender based violence with Orange the World.<\/p>\n
As there won\u2019t be a friendship weekend this year, I\u2019m hoping we can support the SI Jersey Friendship weekend in September.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be further details nearer the time.<\/p>\n
So many members of our Club play their part and make our fundraising, project action and social events successful.\u00a0 Thank you for all you do.\u00a0 Here\u2019s to a fabulous year for SI Guernsey.<\/p>\n
