The Mayoress Visits Club Meeting –
I
n her very busy schedule, we were really pleased that the Mayoress of Halton was able to accept an invitation to our October Club Business Meeting.
As we worked through the agenda, she showed great interest in our project work and in turn she told us about the work she and the Mayor were doing to support ‘The Halton Foundation’ a great local project to provide bursaries for young people who need help to go into or continue with further education – something that really resonated with us as Soroptimists. The Club has now agreed to support this project as part of our ‘Operation Christmas 2024 Appeal’.
The Mayoress was impressed with our Mastectomy Cushion/Drain-Bag project and very interested in the women we were supporting through our ‘Lend With Care’ project.
BINGO Fundraiser
Following the success of our first ever Bingo event last year we followed up this year with another fabulous night when we raised an amazing £950 for our Christmas projects!
This means we will be able to give generous support locally to Runcorn and District Foodbank, Halton Toy Appeal and Halton Foundation and globally to Mary’s Meals.
