\"Bookstall<\/a>Members of SI St Albans and District, ran the Club’s Charity Bookstall at the Sustainability Market Harpenden, organised by Sustainable St Albans on Sun May 17 https:\/\/sustainablestalbans.org\/sustainability-market\/<\/a><\/strong>. Soroptimists had collected stacks of second-hand novels and children\u2019s books to sell. There were lots of willing Soroptimist volunteers to help on the day and the Club raised close to \u00a3500 which is a great result!<\/strong> It was a really sociable event providing the perfect opportunity for members to have a good catch up – something popular with Soroptimists all over the world…<\/p>\n

This was a Soroptimist \u201corange day\u201d \u2013 to raise awareness and take action to end violence against women and girls. As a bright and optimistic colour, orange represents a future free from the scourge that is violence against \"Bookstall<\/a>women and girls. We were also promoting our Orange the World campaign – 16 days of activism from 25 Nov to 10 Dec – click here to read more https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans\/orange25\/<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Harpenden<\/a>Money raised was for the SAHWR Refuge<\/strong> supporting victims of domestic abuse https:\/\/sahwr.org.uk<\/a>\/. We also gained some exposure for our Club and raised awareness of our Orange the World Campaign. Soroptimists sent a big thanks to the Harpenden Lions https:\/\/www.harpenden-lions.co.uk\/<\/a>, who loaned us the gazebo for the day. The Lions also took our leftover books to the Lions Charity Bookshop in Hemel Hempstead. We were also able to get extra money from selling some of the books online. Any books that the Lions Charity Bookshop in Hemel Hempstead can’t sell are pulped, so this is a perfect recycling project.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
