President’s message
Welcome to the 2009-10 Year of Soroptimist International of Dundee.
My theme for the year is ‘FORWARD LOOKING : LOOKING FORWARD’
Soroptimist International has always been proactive looking to the future needs of its members in a changing world, and I would like us to look forward and see how we can offer young women of today the support, friendship and opportunity for service that we have found as members of Soroptimist International of Dundee.
We have a great programme of speakers, fund-raisers and Social activities over the next 12 months (follow this link to see our 2009-2010 programme ). We will also be continuing with our programme action, participating in community projects benefitting women and girls locally, nationally and internationally.
I have selected SI South Kolkata as the main recipient of funds raised by the Club this year and three fundraising activities are being planned. The first is an evening of Latin American Dancing - ‘The Latin Quarter’ - with the opportunity of learning the salsa. This is a shared fund-raiser with half the ticket proceeds going to an orphanage in Peru. The date is Friday 5th June, 8.30-12.30 at the Apex Hotel, Dundee. The second will be another Bric-a-Brac Stall in the City Centre on Saturday 25th July as part of the Rotary Club of Dundee’s Gala Charity Stall Event. The third is our popular paper quiz, compiled by one of our talented members, Ann Graham.
Guests are welcome at our Speaker Evenings and Social Events and we would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in finding out more about the Club. Please contact us by email: sidundee@aol.com.
