July 2016 new member Frances and new Friendship Link

Members supported Plymouth Soroptimists Gala Dinner at the start of the month. At our business meeting we welcomed Frances Fermin as a new member. We held a candle lighting ceremony to mark our latest Friendship Link with SI Barossa Valley in  Southern Australia.
Presidents Sue & Wendy attended the UKPAC Study Day in Bristol with speakers on Modern Day Slavery, FGM and Women’s Imprisonment. Some members took part and others were Marshalls at the Race for Life in Truro on 10th. President Sue was invited to attend a reception in Port Isaac organised by The Ideas Partnership to thank the locals for their work with disadvantaged families in Kosovo. Sue was invited by one of our Unsung Heroine Award winners Nicola and was presented to HRH The Duchess of Cornwall. Later in the month members, friends and family enjoyed a Murder Mystery Evening on the Bodmin & Wenford Steam Railway.
