On the 2nd<\/sup> March we announced that we would be marking International Women\u2019s Day by hosting three events to support the Oxfam Mother Appeal.\u00a0 The first event a Supper Evening was held at the home of Lichfield Soroptimist Chris Corless and her husband Adrian on Friday 14th<\/sup>\u00a0March \u00a02014.\u00a0 30 guests were welcomed with a glass of wine followed by a delicious two course meal, rounded off with tea or coffee.<\/p>\n

During the evening guests took part in the Oxfam Mother Appeal Sweepstake and the evening was rounded off with an auction where the main item, a water colour of snowdrops painted and donated by Julia Ross, one of the guests, was eventually sold for \u00a3150.\u00a0 Chris gave a brief talk about the Oxfam Mother Appeal before announcing to guests that the evening had raised over \u00a3500.00.<\/p>\n

The 3rd<\/sup> and final event by SI Lichfield & District to support Oxfam\u2019s Mother Appeal took place on 29th<\/sup> March 2014.\u00a0 A Cake & Craft morning at a local hall included Mother\u2019s Day Gifts, homemade cake and an Oxfam Sweepstake where the prize was a meal for two at a local pub.\u00a0 Visitors could also relax with a hot drink and slice of cake.<\/p>\n

The proceeds from this, the sale of hand made goods throughout the month and the previous two events brought the overall total to just over \u00a31,050 double the original projection of the club. This will be match funded by the UK Government making \u00a32,100.00 available for this appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
