Soroptimist International Bath

We ahve just given a cheque for £1,850 to Bath Young Carers, which is the total that we raised during 2011-12 for our President’s Charity. See the project page for more info!

Our quiz on 31 March raised more than £300 for our charities. We also raised around £200 from our Charter Lunch in February which will be split between the 3E project, Birthing in the Pacific, Target Ovarian Cancer and 60 for 60 Appeal.

Our Quiz on 31 March at Bathampton Village Hall will start at 8pm rather than 7.30pm. We have moved the date to allow our Bath Rugby season ticket holders to get to the match earlier in the day! Cost of a ticket is only £5 including supper. A bargain – so contact us on sibath.soroptimists@gmail.com for a ticket or more information.

Across the world, members of Soroptimist International will be celebrating International Women’s Day on and around 8 March 2012. Have a look at the events site:
