It was wonderful to see so many of you on the screens and hope that you felt as inspired by the words of our founders as I was.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">We were very saddened by the news of the passing of our Federation President Johanna Raffan last Tuesday and we started the Event on Saturday by the reading of a Tribute to her and we held a minute of silent reflection and remembrance . I have attached the Tribute to this Newsletter for those of you who were not present to hear it. Johanna will be a great miss to our Federation and the world beyond as she was due to be the Convenor of the Soroptimist International Convention in Dublin on 27 to 29 July 2023. She had many, sometimes controversial proposals, to modernise our Federation structure and improve it\u2019s fitness for purpose.\u00a0 We will wait until the next General Meeting to see if any of her proposals are adopted but they have certainly caused members to think about how we elect our leaders and how we run our organisation with a need for increasing membership. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2021\/10\/Johanna-Raffan-tribute.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to Tribute<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Our main presentation took the form of an illustrated history from 1921 through to the early 1980\u2019s.\u00a0 \u00a0 The early growth in members and clubs showed enormous speed and support for the ideals that we were promoting. Women wished to gain new status in our communities following the Great War where their roles had changed and self-independence had been offered. The aim to have an international organisation of women that offered service to their communities was an idea that appealed throughout America and Europe.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We started with the story of the founding of the first club in Oakwood in California and moved on and into the UK and then Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">The early pioneering members had some memorable ideals that were read as \u2018quotes\u2019 by 16 of our members from around the region. I do hope that they inspired you to think again about why we are Soroptimists and our core beliefs. We were reminded by International President Ethel Lord in 1971 that \u201c the value of the individual member is important and the world of the future requires us to adapt to new conditions. We should always remember that service is our most important product the impact of Soroptimism is a real force for world understanding &#8211; but &#8211; remember that now, as in the past, YOU make the difference.\u00a0 Our strength lies in the active support of each one of you. This international organisation is only as strong as each club makes it and each club is only as strong as its members make it \u201c. I think that these words emphasise the great importance of our Programme Action work -it is the reason why we exist and should be the reason why new members join.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">After an intermission we heard from Past International President Ann Garvie with some of the high lights of her two years in office from 2013 to 2015.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ann was our last SIGBI nominated International President and it was apt to hear from her as our new International President Maureen McGuire takes up her role this summer.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With the new African Federation making up five Federations,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the rotating of the Federations to offer an International President means that SIGBI will only have this opportunity every ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">We wish Maureen every success in her term of office and look forward to hearing and seeing her at future Conferences &#8211; and of course the International Convention in Dublin in July 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Ann gave us some challenging things to think about but she feels strongly that we need open debate about the need for change if Soroptimism is to survive the next 100 years. She particularly described one of her personal disappointments while in office as International President.\u00a0\u00a0 She did not achieve the radical realignment of the International Board and of the global membership of countries. The various Federations are often seen as a miss match of countries with very loose links to hold them together in these modern times. \u201cA bit here and a bit there and another bit around the corner\u201d is not seen as a systematic way of creating Federations &#8211; or indeed &#8211; do we need Federations at all but have countries linked direct to Soroptimist International ? A challenge that it might be worth discussing at Regional level before the end of this reflective Centennial year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">SIGBI President Elect Cathy Cottridge joined us to talk about the current situation in SIGBI and plans for the future. This must be an incredibly difficult time for her as she takes over the reins with the loss of President Johanna as well as coping with her existing responsibilities. She too commented on some of the quotes from our presentations with a look at the subjects discussed by delegates at the 1960\u2019s Convention &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and we are still discussing these same topics today! She listed some of the recent achievements of SIGBI including the gain of 228 new members during the Lockdown periods. The new recruitment video on the SIGBI web site has gained much attention including a request from Poland to use it and add sub titles in Polish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">There is clearly a need to embrace the virtual world and younger members are looking for this together with flexibility. A new e- club is being piloted in Greater London which will be reported on.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some progress is being made on the application for SIGBI to have an information stand in the Green Area (civic society) in Glasgow at COP26 in early November and a further meeting is to be held with the Cabinet Office to progress this.\u00a0\u00a0 An effort is to be made to form firmer partnerships with other women\u2019s organisations and to ensure that there is more, and better, support and exchange of information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Following these two speakers, we asked for questions for either, or both, of them to be sent to me as soon as you can so that they can be forwarded for considered replies and more information. It was unfortunate that we ran short of time in the second half and interactive discussion and questions lost out to the need to finish about 4.30pm. Some members put questions in the Chat Box which will be forwarded and I will report back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">At the end of the afternoon, we announced the RAFFLE winners &#8211; all twelve of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">They are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">1st Prize:\u00a0 Glenfiddich Whisky\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Sue Scott of SI Stockton-on-Tees<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">2nd Prize: Chivas Regal Whisky\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Rosie Jenkinson of SI Sunderland<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">3rd Prize : London Dry Gin\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Helen of SI Tynedale<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">4th Prize : Moet &amp; Chandon\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0\u00a0 Sue McSharry of SI Tynemouth\/W.Bay<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">5th Prize : Tattinger\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Julie of SI Stockton-on-Tees<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">6th Prize : Croft Sherry\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Sue of SI Stckton-on-Tees<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">7th Prize : Vodka\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Marge Wilkinson of SI Sunderland<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">8th Prize : Lanson Black Label\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Helen Tinnion of SI Cockermouth<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">9th Prize:\u00a0 Bacardi Rum\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Kath Shearer of SI Newcastle upon Tyne<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">10th Prize: PIMS No. 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Elspeth of SI Darlington<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">11th Prize: London Dry Floral Gin\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Liz Bergs of SI Tynemouth\/WBay<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">12th Prize : Pink Grapefruit Gin\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0 Ruth Richardson of SI South Shields<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">The delivery of these prizes will be arranged over the next few days and Joyce Chesney and I will be contacting the winners soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">I am extremely grateful to all of you who supported the Raffle by purchasing tickets or giving donations.
