We seem to have been ‘off the air’ since our June walk kindly hosted by David and Pat Wain but much has been happening!!<\/p>\n

On 27th June<\/strong> we were able to support the ‘Walk a Mile in her Shoes’ \u00a0event for Pathway.\u00a0 Once again some brave young men actually walked in high heeled shoes and we wore pink and caused a stir.\u00a0 It was Armistice Day and Speaker’s Corner was in full use but they paused as we tottered by!\u00a0 I understand from Kathy Coe that almost \u00a31000 was raised!<\/p>\n

Poppy workshops continue to take place at the Sewing Shop in Lichfield at 10am on the last Friday of each month and two members are usually there to teach and chat.<\/p>\n

On 18th July <\/strong>we had a big stand at the Alrewas Show.\u00a0 It was an awareness raising event to try to make sure that more people know about the organisation.\u00a0 There were splendid displays of our work and dresses for Africa were being completed throughout the day as Lichfield Soroptimists answered questions from interested attendees.\u00a0There was information about Skirting Science, our work with Young Carers and Brownies and other work abroad.\u00a0 \u00a0Never to miss an opportunity to get the ping pong balls in the jam jars game out, we raised \u00a3120 for President Pat’s charities.<\/p>\n

On a personal note, I was able to source gluten and everything else free cakes for my retirement tea with local friends.\u00a0 Email me if you would like a contact number.<\/p>\n

On a Club note, we made 18 contacts to follow up, some to help with sewing and knitting for our projects or to give donations\u00a0but others wishing to know more about Soroptimism!<\/p>\n
