It was a a lovely evening and I was sat on a table with our sisters from SI Bingley and SI Bradford. I was really interested to hear about one of their joint projects working with women who were either on probation or had just come out of prison. And of course we talked about the upcoming Regional Council Meeting at Askam Grange prison. Members from SI Bradford told me about the links they have with the Prison. \u00a0It was also an opportunity to have a quick catch up with SIGBI President Ruth Healy and Yorkshire President Susie Westwood. Thank you Sheila for your company and driving<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Malawi School Project<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am delighted to say we are nearing the final stages of the Malawi School project led by club member Christabel. Letters have gone to President Harriet at SI Blantyre and the Head Teacher of Seyema School confirming our final donation to the building work. And, \u00a0asking them to provide feedback on what impact this will have on the school and community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Progress really has been made, the electrics are in, the plastering has been done and the concrete floor is going down. I didn\u2019t think I would be so pleased to receive photos of plastered walls and a concrete floor, but those pictures show how our contribution is being used. I cannot thank Christabel and our sisters at SI Blantyre, President Harriet and Lennie enough for making this happen. I am excited to see the completion of the building and how this will make a difference to the community. And, of course, what the opening celebrations will be, so as they say, \u201cwatch this space\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Website &#8211; President&#8217;s Blog<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are working on the format and content of our website. \u00a0The monthly President blogs will become part of this year\u2019s web content.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diary Dates<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A date for your diaries.
