Message from this year’s President Amanda
On 13 April Amanda Jones became President of Soroptimist International of Kenilworth & District.
Julie Pemberton, immediate past President handed over the chain of office.
A former psychology teacher, Amanda has been a soroptimist for two years. She hopes that her calendar of events presents members with a variety of opportunities to make a difference to the lives of women and girls through volunteering, fundraising and projects, as well as enjoying fun and friendship. Amanda said that the Refuge and You Can Flourish are two Warwickshire charities which members will continue to support, as well as women and girls internationally.
