Wakefield Soroptimists held an event in Walton to raise funds for the Meru Garden project which is one of the national projects being supported by Soroptimists. Members were given a presentation by Programme Action Co-ordinator Jane Walton which showed how the funding would educate, enable and empower women living in Meru in Africa to grow their own crops. Marjorie Wilde engaged members in a quiz and plant sale. Over £200 was raised.
