Medway and Maidstone Soroptimists organised a Friendship Link Get Together via Zoom on 7 December.
On 16 November, Christmas celebrations started early when the G4 Christmas 2021 Tour kicked off at Rochester Cathedral.
An urgent call out went out for volunteers to assist with checking the filled shoeboxes for the Christmas Shoebox Appeal (https://blythswood.org/shoeboxappeal ).
SI Medway and Maidstone celebrates our 75th anniversary this year. We have set ourselves a series of challenges to achieve.
The celebrations start today (UN World Day of Peace) worldwide for the Soroptimist Centennial with a candle lighting ceremony. At our Friendship Link Get Together last week, we celebrated early. Each of us held a candle and this was captured in a photo to be shared widely.
In the July edition of SEE News there was a report from Isobel Groves from SI Sevenoaks . It told us about their knitting efforts to support the Centenary Trauma Bear Appeal. Some of the Police contacts made were in the Swale area.
SI Medway and Maidstone Soroptimists, Angela Howe and Jane Barnes volunteered today. They took part in the monthly Gardening and Litter Pick Task Day at the Esplanade Gardens, Rochester.
At our July club meeting we had a presentation from member Sharon Forghani on Climate Change which was both interesting and thought provoking.
For the past 20 years Maidstone Soroptimists have been supporting the Jeevodaya Centre in Itarsi and one of the annual fundraising events organised has always been a Garden Party.
