Due to the pandemic and lockdowns it had not been possible to see residents on a regular basis. The resumption of this service encourages hope.Giving the residents a Christmas star is a symbol and a reminder of it. Club member Shirley Brigham has knitted 12 stars to add to the star collection and the Soroptimist contribution has been greatly appreciated. President Pat Downing adds that \u2018this initiative is close to the hearts of Sevenoaks Soroptimists as the club holds their monthly club meetings at Rockdale which was started by a Sevenoaks Soroptimist Beatrice Wilson. It is pleasing to know that our club can still be part of service given to the residents.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Isobel Groves, Programme Action Officer, SI Sevenoaks December 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knitting Christmas Stars for residents in Care Homes in Sevenoaks Knitting or making Christmas stars&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Knitting Christmas Stars for Care Homes in Sevenoaks Dec 2021 | News | Blog | Events | SI Sevenoaks<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Sevenoaks : Blog &amp; News : Knitting Christmas Stars for Care Homes in Sevenoaks Dec 2021 : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Sevenoaks .
