The Commemorative envelope is a unique piece of history. Captured by a specially designed stamp and cancellation, it celebrates a moment in time. These envelopes and stamps are a perfect way to mark the centenary of our Soroptimist Organisation, at a price affordable for everyone. Keep as a momento or give as a present to promote our worldwide project work for women and girls. The envelopes and stamps have been developed with our images and logos and celebrate 100 years since the founding of the very first Soroptimist club in Oakland, California in 1921. These are limited editions of 500 per design, which will become collector’s items. Similar Commemorative envelopes have increased considerably in value over time.
