On Saturday 3rd October, President Sue, along with members and guests of SI Manchester celebrated our annual Friendship Evening. This evening commemorates the anniversary of the very first Soroptimist meeting in Oakland, CA on 3rd October 1921. Candles were lit for our friendship links in St Petersburg, Russia; Johannesburg, South Africa; Grosse Pointe and Wichita USA; and Mayuge, Uganda, and we hadseveral messages of good wishes from our friends in these clubs. We all enjoyed a lovely evening of cheese and wine with some Soroptimist friendship inspired games!
