\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Last night, on International Women’s Day, Club members joined in celebrations with the West End Women and Girls Centre whom we have supported over recent years.\u00a0 Please see our previous posts re. our supporting their Domestic Violence Champions<\/a> and more recently, a club member, Christine, was successful in securing \u00a310.000 of funding t<\/a>o support the WEWGC ‘s farm in Northumberland.<\/p>\n

In addition to the IWD celebrations, the centre was celebrating 40 years in the City!\u00a0 \u00a0A great time was had by all, and here’s to the next 40 years.\u00a0 \u00a0A video of the event is available on our facebook page:\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewcastleuponTyne-Soroptimists-106860390912908\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

One of our members, Christine, described the event to those who were unable to attend, as follows:\u00a0 ‘You missed a wonderful party in the West End on Tuesday –\u00a0 hundreds of women and girls and families turned up.\u00a0 The road was closed outside the centre for a brief time while a very large red carpet was rolled across the zebra crossing and a young girl cut a ribbon stretched across the crossing light poles and opened the event soon after 6.0pm.\u00a0 There was a fairground ( all free rides ) with swing boats, a helter skelter and the wonderful galloping horses.\u00a0 There were free ice creams from a van,\u00a0 and an assorted of delicious food to sample from bhaji s\u00a0 and samosas and cakes, hot dogs and drinks.\u00a0 All the time a guy sat at his mini play desk with a wonderful selection of music that rang round the area.\u00a0 \u00a0The projections of women on the front of the building was interesting and inside in the main upstairs hall they had a photographic display of 40 notable women who had helped the Centre reach its 40 years anniversary .\u00a0 The event closed with fireworks at 8.0pm but it was such a happy and celebratory event with loads of laughter and activity.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, some members marked IWWD by attending the Tyne to Stand Up – Comedy Gala in aid of Rape Crisis. One comment was: \u2018some excellent up and coming new\u00a0 talent\u2019. @soroptimists<\/a>\u00a0linker.re\/rape_crisis_tn\u00a0@soroptimist_intl_bangkok<\/a>\u00a0@soroptimistgbi<\/a>\u00a0@female.empower<\/a>\u00a0#strongwoman<\/a>\u00a0@stella.prc<\/a>\u00a0#askmewhyiamasoroptimist<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
