Mary Fisher MBE JP- A sister Soroptimist too
The Club is celebrating its 90th year since we were chartered in 1933. Our Club archivists, Rachel, Judith and Nicola are busy going through our archives held at County Hall in Northallerton. We have many photos but some with no names or dates. Lesley, our Communication team leader posted photos on the Historical Harrogate and District Facebook page. Val Hills, recognised one of the faces and thought it may be Mary Fisher. In March we spoke about Forgotten Women. This included Mary Fisher MBE JP. Val, has been doing a lot of work about Mary the first lady mayor of Harrogate. It is our quest for her to be recognised with a Brown plaque. Could this be her, was she a Soroptimist or just visiting the Club? Mary’s granddaughter, Anne, contacted the Club after the an article about Mary appeared in the Harrogate Advertiser
