October -expansion of the Red Box Scheme. Annual Charter Lunch. Liverpool SIGBI Conference

Jenny and her committee really got the Red Box Scheme under way with large red collection boxes in Launceston, Bodmin and St Austell and red boxes delivered to schools. Emma Bray gave us an update. Speakers from Kernow Young Carers showed us a video made by the young people https://vimeo.com/261517583  reinforcing why we are supporting them. President Elect Sandra and her sister joined the Banger Charity Rally and successfully drove their pasty & soroptimist logo decorated banger to Gibraltar. For the first time in our 40 years we held our Annual Charter Lunch in October at The Cornwall. Speaker was Local vet Tamsin Martyn.  Also on the top table were Region President Daphne Dowsing and Lion President Michael Collins. We welcomed Beverley Sullivan as new member. At the end of the month 11 members went to Liverpool for the SIGBI conference for an interesting and exhausting 5 days. Club members Kay Turner and Wendy Plaice took over the Presidency of the Region for 3 months.
