Members of Soroptimist International St Albans and District have had a really busy week!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SISTA<\/a>On Mon 28 Feb Members enjoyed a social evening together “Shwopping” <\/strong>raising more than \u00a380 for the Club’s charities. Members and friends swapped unwanted Christmas gifts and clothes and made a donation for their newly swapped acquisitions. The evening was fun and a good opportunity for people to get to know each other better in an informal setting. We hadn’t held one of these events since 2014 and everyone agreed it should be a regular event in the Club’s social calendar! Thanks must got to President Barbara for being such a great host.<\/p>\n

\"SISTAs<\/a>On Tue 1 Mar it was the Home-Start Pancake Race in St Albans. <\/strong>Four Soroptimists were able to help on the day – pictured here (l to r) are Kat Clark, Melie Tant and Debbie Tankard. It was great that the event went ahead this year – after being cancelled in 2021 due to COVID.<\/p>\n

\"Home-Start<\/a>As soon as we find out how much money was raised for HomeStart Herts<\/a> we will post it here.<\/p>\n

To find out more about the event please see the website pancake.events<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
