Held at Kingsfold Library in Penwortham, Members Lynn and Karen were the hostesses!  Armed with crockery and cakes (Lynn’s home Victoria Sandwich was very popular), tablecloths and teabags, we didn’t have to wait long for our first guests.  Three ladies who had come into the library together to play dominoes, were very surprised to see refreshments available.  They were followed – albeit slowly – by several more ladies, a young toddler in a pram and a gentleman who had come in to do some work.  The consensus was one of approval and there were promises to be back next week and to spread the word about Soroptimist International of Preston being at the library.

We will be doing our usual collections – foodbank, loose change, maybe the odd bra or 50 and anything else we come up with. We will be having a few social events – cake and possible wine will probably be involved somewhere. Importantly, we are planning a new project that will start in May.  We are starting a Drop In Cafe at Kingsfold Library for anyone who wants to come.  We hope to reach people
