I was sent some ‘photos of photos’ displayed at conference this year.  SI Lichfield had 3 of its programme action photos displayed during the course of outgoing President Jenny’s address and Federation President Margaret’s inaugural address.  We are busy with programme action that relates clearly to the aims and objectives of Soroptimism, as are many other clubs and we are getting so much better at recognising photo opportunities.  It is moments like those at conference that make us have that ‘warm glow’ that I was able to talk about during my workshop at the SIGBI Development Day in Nottingham.  This came from the book, ‘Happiness by Design’ by Paul Dolan.  He offers a pleasure-purpose concept of happiness: a life that is rich in activities that are both pleasurable and meaningful.  Volunteer work is associated with a sense of purposefulness that channel surfing lacks.  Has he been talking to someone about Soroptimism??
