Phrase of the Month—Soroptimism is volunteering with friends. In our meetings this month, we have paid our respects to our late majesty Queen Elizabeth the second. We thank you for your Inspiration and duty over 70 years. Cindy, who is a long standing member of our club, has for years has held lunches to raise funds for The Three Roses Home in Clent.  The Three Roses looks after people who are severely mentally disabled, and are mainly women.

The lunches average £400 profit each event and she recently held a special one for a family coming from the troubles in Ukraine, which made a profit of £600.
