Hello Everyone We have been beset by one or two April Showers this month. It is also the month of change at SI with thank yous to our lovely outgoing Club Presidents and welcome to our new ones. I look forward to arranging a Zoom Meeting in July with all our new Club Presidents and afterwards meeting new Club PA Officers to hear your plans and ideas.
President Margaret Clarke welcomed 78 Soroptimists from around the Midland Chase Region who attended the online Regional Council & Programme Action Meeting on Saturday 6th March 2021.
President Margaret Clarke’s February was as busy as ever. From toilets to Doris Day – her Regional President’s Message – February 2021 has it all!
Hello there Ladies – Stay Safe. This month I had meetings with all Club Programme Action Officers to see what you were up to – terrific stuff. I also met with all Club President to ask how Clubs are feeling at present. I was heartened to meet everyone at both meetings. I think everyone was glad to see other clubs as recompense for not being able to visit and support each other as we usually do. There was good conversation and, as you can imagine, a few laughs too. Thank you all!
My Presidential year started in earnest at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas on Sunday 8th November 2020.

Be bold and mind the gap! Thank you all for the opportunity you have given me this year as President of Midland Chase Region during which I want to focus on the UN’s sustainable development goals 16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions) and 17 (Sustainable Development Through Global Partnerships).
Soroptimist International of Midland Chase held its first ever virtual Regional Conference on Sunday 13th September 2020 with more than 120 delegates attending. The theme was “A Drop In The Ocean – Making Waves” – focusing on how small actions can multiply up to create waves of positive change.
A Drop In The Ocean – Incoming President’s Message 2019-20 A drop in the ocean is so small, it surely can’t make an impression, it surely can’t make a difference. But it surely can, as that ocean is made up of many drops of water.
