The Community Group led by Angie Dale appealed for donations, and worked hard to sort and pack the resulting supplies.\u00a0 They deserve great praise for gathering together an enormous amount of food, clothing and other supplies from the area and organising their transport to the Ukraine.\u00a0 It was wonderful to see the response their appeal received.<\/p>\n<p>It was also good\u00a0 to report that we have almost reached our target for the Toilet Twinned Town project.\u00a0 This was started prior to the pandemic, but had to put on hold.\u00a0 The plan is to make Richmond a Toilet Twinned Town in association with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toilettwinning.org\">Toilet Twinning<\/a> charity, by &#8220;twinning&#8221; toilets in 20 locations across public buildings, schools and businesses.\u00a0 We hope to have this complete by the end of this Soroptimist year.<\/p>\n<p>Members were also encouraged to use our EasyFundRaising page when shopping on-line.\u00a0 A small percentage from every transaction is donated to our funds by the retailer, and this provides a very useful additional income stream. This enables us to give some additional donations as requests come in during the year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March Monthly Meeting Here is the update on our March Monthly Meeting.\u00a0 We did not&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[78,79,26,81,60,80],"class_list":["post-4848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news","tag-colburn-fooshare","tag-easyfundraising","tag-just-the-job","tag-programme-action","tag-toilet-twinning","tag-ukraine-crisis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>March Monthly Meeting | News | Blog | Events | SI Richmond and Dales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Richmond and Dales : Blog &amp; News : March Monthly Meeting : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Richmond and Dales .
