The 2022 New Year celebration saw members meeting for the first time that year. What a pleasure it was seeing old friends, dinning together and of course it would not be a New Year celebration without a quiz and games. A big thanks to Kath for her work on the event. It was wonderful evening.

With all the uncertainly we have had this year it was wonderful to see the sun or rather lack of rain when Lancaster Soroptimists held an early World Food Day. Val and her husband deserve most of the credit for the amazing total raised – £717.17. This money will go to Lebanese Red Cross. Alongside the sale Val’s wonderful goods, food and donations were taken for the Olive Branch food bank. This raise an additional £124.15. Many thanks to all involved- organisers and supporters.
