Tuesday 4th July 2017
Members from several clubs in the region joined the 13 new members for the chartering of a new Soroptimist club, SI Amounderness, and to celebrate with cheese and wine. After many photos had been taken on the lawn Rachel Mallett opened the evening welcoming everyone and explaining how the group had come together and why they were now becoming members of Soroptimist International. Their members work and live in several areas across the North West England and Isle of Man region. The club will meet in various places and will support charities and work on projects around the region. Federation President Elect Sue Biggs carried out the Chartering ceremony on behalf of Federation President Ann Hodgson. A message was read out from President Ann. The Charter document was signed by joint Presidents Andrea Wallace and Rachel Mallett and then presented to the new club. We raised glasses of bubbly to wish the new club well and then in the usual Soroptimist way we all enjoyed getting to know our new friends over food and wine. It was a very pleasant evening and is exciting to have a new club in the region. Congratulations to all the new members and we wish you every success and look forward to getting to know you and work with you in the future.
Angie Christopher – Regional President
