Victoria Smerdon’s year as President of Soroptimist International of South Lancashire ended at the Federation Conference in Harrogate.
At the closing event, Victoria handed over her chain of office to the Federation President, Jenny Vince, who then installed Margaret Baker (SI Bolton) as the Region’s new leader.
Victoria said, “I have had a fantastic, challenging and eventful year ‘running the Region’. I wish every success to Margaret – I know she will relish the experience.”
SI Widnes – Victoria’s club – held an end-of-year party, and invited representatives from throughout the Region. The club’s special present for Victoria was a quilt – made by members, and using photos supplied by various clubs – depicting her year in office.
