President Stella and members were pleased to welcome Sabine Geis, the President of SI Hanover, to the September club meeting. Sabine was in Manchester for family reasons and was able to attend a very packed Programme Action meeting followed by a Business meeting. We hope she managed to follow all that was going on.
She told us about the Hanover club which was chartered in 1956 and is the 5th oldest club in Germany. There are currently 33 members, five of whom are relatively new to Soroptimism. In Hanover it there is currently an exhibition to mark the 300th Anniversary of the Hanoverian Dynasty coming to the British throne with the accession of George the First.
President Stella presented her with a pennant to take home to her club and she gave us a large tin of typical Hanoverian biscuits, which we will enjoy with the refreshments at our October Speaker meeting.
