SI Milton Keynes has been celebrating 2021 Centenary year in a number of ways.
Centenary Quilt
One of the first ways we chose to celebrate our centenary year was to celebrate what we love about Soroptimism, what our club does and also what we love about Milton Keynes. With that criteria, each of our members, those that are sewers and those that were not made a couple of patches. These patches highlight the work we do with our linked charities to places we love around Milton Keynes, for example Christ the Cornerstone Church, the balancing lakes to our red paths.
We have completed our Centenary Quilt and were able to present it at our Regional Soroptimist event on 12 June.
We have also submitted a photo of our quilt to Milton Keynes Council in support of their bid for City Status. It highlights what we love about Milton Keynes and we support the City Status Bid.
Soroptimist International:Milton Keynes love Milton Keynes for:
Its green and open spaces of nature
Its diversity of community
Its vitality go-getting, pioneering spirit
We hope this helps with the City Status bid.
Here are some of the patches depicting what they love about Soroptimism and about Milton Keynes.
