Soroptimist International Tamworth members recently celebrated their 77th Charter Lunch and cheque presentation at Drayton Manor Hotel.
Club President Gill Holmes, and club members welcomed the Mayor of Tamworth, Councillor Chris Bain, and guests and friends from other local Soroptimist International Clubs and local charities.
The event also provided an opportunity for SI Tamworth to distribute cheques to the local charities that they have raised money for this past year.
Former President Ally Allerson presented cheques to the Sexual Abuse Rape Advice Centre, which is the president’s charity, and also other local charities: the Heart of Tamworth Community Project; Read Easy, St. Giles Hospice, Tamworth Have a Heart and the Soroptimist International Foundation. Other organisations that have received donations over the past year are Breast Cancer Now and SightSavers.
In addition to celebrating their Charter Lunch, it was also an opportunity to celebrate the upcoming birthday of longstanding member Edna who was presented with good wishes and a bunch of flowers and thanks for all that she does to support the club.
