\"Creating<\/a>
Creating a little bit of Kenya on a very rainy day in Ripon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Harrogate and District Soroptimists were keen to raise awareness of the Meru Women’s Garden Project<\/a> and join in with our Federation Meru Day of Action<\/a>. \u00a0We secured the charity stall at the popular Ripon Market<\/a> – \u00a0held every Thursday and Saturday. There is high demand for the charity stall that Harrogate Borough Council offer. The stall was already booked up on the 15th July (the day of Action) so we opted for the Thursday 20th July. – \u00a0Thor chose to make that a day to remember as the heavens opened and the rains came down. There was little respite from the rain, nevertheless we managed to sell some of the delicious Meru jams and pasta sauces along with raffle tickets for the amazing quilts that have been given to us. We also had a collection for the Alzheimer Society<\/a>. We certainly promoted the Club as being part of an organisation that is active locally and globally. Members gave their time freely to man the stand and provide a little sunshine cheer for those passersby who showed interest – \u00a0and very generous they were too given the appalling weather.<\/p>\n
