On 8 May, Medway and Maidstone Soroptimist , Julia Search hosted a Zoom Get Together with our 4 of our Friendship Link clubs. We were pleased that members from Heswall, Chaguanas, Osnabruck and Voorburg clubs were able to join for part or whole of the meeting.<\/p>\n

It is always great when we all get together to share what each club is doing to improve the lives of women and girls throughout the world. We heard from SI Voorburg about initial plans to mark \u2018Orange the World\u2019 working with partners, such as with the social sofa project in Europe. \u00a0SI Heswall are busy this year as they celebrate 75 years of service to the community. Whilst our newest Friendship link SI Chaguanas spoke of their work to produce a comic for schools on solar power. Also, in May as Membership month, we heard about those clubs who have successfully recruited new members.<\/p>\n

Finally, we reflected on whether there is still value in Friendship Link clubs meeting this way. \u00a0There was unanimous support to continue and so we look forward to the next Get Together later in the year.<\/p>\n
