The sun shone for the Annual President’s Lunch on Sunday 5th April at Dorney Lake. 75 members and guests enjoyed the occasion which included a delicious three course lunch with appropriate wines. A cheque was presented to the Chairman of the Management Committee of the Slough Children’s Contact Centre by President Jean. The Contact Centre is organised and operated by SI Slough Windsor and Maidenhead and various fundraising events have been run throughout the year to fund the ongoing costs of running the centre. In the event a magnificent £3,700 was raised which will help run the centre for several years. Members from other local Soroptimist clubs attended the lunch including: Aylesbury, Oxford, High Wycombe, Kingston, South West London and St Albans. Regional President Laura responded to the toast to Soroptimist International and congratulated the club on its work. The guest of honour, Roderick Watson, talked about the project to build Dorney Lake and the efforts involved in becoming the venue for rowing for the Olympic Games in 2012. A raffle raised over £270 for Project Sierra.
