It was a joy for us to entertain Jola, Malgosia and Danusia for this cultural exchange where we all learn more about one another\u2019s countries and lives. Friendship Link visits are at the heart of the Soroptimist objective of \u201cinternational goodwill and understanding\u201d dating back to 1921.<\/p>\n<p>Please click through the photographs in the slideshow below:<\/p>\n<p>After arriving at Luton airport on Friday afternoon our guests dined \u201croyally\u201d at the Kings Lodge in Hunton Bridge (the building dates back to 1642) with their three hostesses for the weekend Barbara Saunders, Sarah Lichman and Jane Slatter. Saturday was a day in St Albans with a walk through Verulamium Park, a guided tour of St Albans Cathedral, lunch in the Waterend Barn (another 17th century building), market shopping and a visit to the St Albans Museum and Gallery The day was rounded off with a splendid spread of food at Jean Eaton\u2019s home. More of our Members were able to join us during the day and in the evening which was lovely. On Sunday we visited Bletchley Park the home of the secret codebreakers from WWII \u2013 there were many mentions of how the Polish worked with the allied forces and there is a Polish War Memorial on the site (scroll through the photos to see us all pictured with it). On Sunday evening we had another delicious meal, this time in the home of Sarah Lichman. On Monday the last visit was to Stockwood Park Discovery Centre before we dropped our guests at Luton Airport for their journeys home. What a wonderful weekend of Soroptimist friendships that we know will last a life-time.<\/p>\n<p>We have been invited to the 22nd Congress of SI Europe which will be held in Krakow, Poland on 2 \u2013 4 July 2021 as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of Soroptimist International. Jola, Malgosia and Danusia also made it very clear that we will always receive a warm welcome in Warsaw which we know will be fabulous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Soroptimist sisters from our Friendship Link in Warsaw visited us for the weekend of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":745,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6267","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>Warsaw Soroptimist Sisters Visit St Albans | News | Blog | Events | SI St Albans and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI St Albans and District : Blog &amp; News : Warsaw Soroptimist Sisters Visit St Albans : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI St Albans and District .
