Soroptimist International Hertford and District were proud to mark their 60th<\/sup> Anniversary with a special celebratory lunch and friendship weekend.
\nMembers, former members and friends of the club gathered at Mayflower Place, Hertingfordbury on Saturday 30th<\/sup> April, and were joined not only by Soroptimists from across the London Chilterns Region but from Hamar in Norway and Ankara in Turkey as well.
\nAfter a superb meal, Regional President Pam Robertson congratulated SI Hertford and District on their achievements, and Club President Sarah Newstead compared the lives of women between 1956 and 2016, before presenting a cheque for \u00a32000 to Michele Stokes, CEO Carers In Hertfordshire, and a cheque for \u00a31000 to member Karin Weston for Water Aid.
\nPresident Sarah then presented member Valerie Kent with a certificate marking her 40 years of service to Soroptimism.
\nFor club members and our friends from Norway and Turkey, the celebrations lasted throughout the weekend, with a tour of some of our prettiest villages and churches, including tea and cakes at St. Catherine\u2019s, Sacombe; a fish and chip supper; a visit to Hatfield House followed by a traditional Sunday roast, not to mention exploring Hertford itself.
\n\u201c It was wonderful to cement old friendships, make new ones and to hear about the work of Soroptimists in other countries\u201d, said President Sarah.<\/p>\n
