On Friday evening, 70 guests gathered at\u00a0Whittington Golf Club to celebrate the 18th anniversary of when our club was chartered. \u00a0It was a lovely evening although battling through the flash floods was tricky for some, especially Ralph Allin, The Versatile, Virtuoso Violinist with Pianist Chris Collins.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe toast to Soroptimist International was proposed by Soroptimister Adrian Corless who poked gentle humour at the way soroptimists have taken over his home! \u00a0His garage no longer houses cars but is a distribution centre to the far reaches of Africa. \u00a0His dining room is no longer for dinner parties but for a sewing and knitting sweatshop! \u00a0He ended by saying that he was so impressed with the enthusiasm of Lichfield Soroptimists and their selflessness in giving their time to help others….whilst having fun!<\/p>\n
The response from Region President Alyson also praised the work that we do and how she values our support during her Region President year.<\/p>\n
The Mayor of Lichfield, Cllr Mrs Sheelagh James, said she felt proud that this work is going on in Lichfield and beyond. \u00a0A display of our work had opened her eyes to the far reaching, global activity we undertook as well as serving our local community.<\/p>\n
We were then entertained by Ralph Allin who played several pieces\u00a0for us. \u00a0He brought the house down with his skill and energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
