On Friday President Sandra and Club members were delighted to enjoy the company of our MP, the Rt Hon Jeremy Wright QC, Town Mayor of Kenilworth Mike Hitchins and many friends from other voluntary organisations in Kenilworth to celebrate our 50th birthday. We were also pleased that Isobel Smith, President Elect of Soroptimists International Great Britain and Ireland, and Jan Hemlin, President of Midland Arden Region Soroptimists were able to join us.
As we are not a large fund raising organisation, we were especially grateful to Gordon Henderson, President of Kenilworth Lions, for presenting us with a cheque for £1000 from their Dream Scheme. The money will be put towards our ‘wellbeing’ fund for the local women’s refuge, enabling children to have some our of school activities such as swimming and music lessons, new school uniform, and perhaps some well deserved pamper sessions for the women.
