Keynes.\u00a0 With that criteria, each of our members, those that are sewers and those that were not made a couple of patches.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p>We have completed our Centenary Quilt and were able to present it at our Regional Soroptimist event on 12 June.<\/p>\n<p>We have also submitted a photo of our quilt to Milton Keynes Council in support of their bid for City Status.\u00a0 It highlights what we love about Milton Keynes and we support the City Status Bid.<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimist International:Milton Keynes love Milton Keynes for:<\/p>\n<p>Its green and open spaces of nature<\/p>\n<p>Its diversity of community<\/p>\n<p>Its vitality go-getting, pioneering spirit<\/p>\n<p>We hope this helps with the City Status bid.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the patches depicting what they love about Soroptimism and

Celebration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday 28 Sept at MK Rose we held our Candlelight Centenary celebration.\u00a0\u00a0The Milton Keynes Rose is a public place in Central Milton Keynes, which is available to everyone for celebration, commemoration and contemplation.\u00a0\u00a0Designed by internationally renowned artist\u00a0Gordon Young, The Milton Keynes Rose is a vast and impressive open-air circle with markings based on the mathematical beauty of a flower. 106 granite pillars of varying heights emerge from the surface, many of which are inscribed with dates of events that have local, national or international significance.<\/p>\n<p>The Milton Keynes Rose provides a place where citizens and visitors can gather to mark national, local or personal occasions, be they historical, in joy or in remembrance. It is a place where hundreds can gather to mark Armistice Day or one person can remember another in a personal moment. It is not a sombre place, but a place of coming together and celebration.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday 28 Sept it was a rather wet and blustery day but a few of us made it to the The Milton Keynes Rose.\u00a0 As you can see we stood by the column celebrating International Womens Day to show our support of womens issues.<\/p>\n<p><a
