Selby Members were really pleased to meet up using Zoom on 20th May during the Covid 19 Lock down and shared each others news and stories.  Members said it was really great to see everyone again and they had been missing the club meetings. They are planned to be done on a monthly basis

SOROPTIMISTS AND NATIONAL VOLUNTEERS WEEK  This week, Monday 1 June until Sunday 7 June, is National Volunteers Week. The members of Soroptimist International of Selby would like to thank and pay tribute to all the volunteers, locally, nationally and internationally, who give their time, energy, expertise and experience, free of charge, to help others and make things better worldwide. Soroptimist International is itself the world’s largest service organisation. It is committed to improving the lives of women and girls everywhere. And all on a voluntary basis. The Club in Selby currently has 23 members and all give service – both now and before the lockdown. Four members were involved in the Monday Luncheon Club, run by Dementia Forward, for people with dementia and their carers. Another four members helped individual children with their reading in local primary schools. Other members were readers, editors and copiers

The Club are not meeting again until it is deemed safe to start holding meetings again. Unfortunately this means that the planned Lunch on May 16th with Philip Holmes from Chora Chori has had to be cancelled. Watch this space.
