Our President's Message

Welcome to the web pages of SI Leicester.

Our President's Message

In March 2009 we shall be celebrating the 75th anniversary of Soroptimist International of Leicester and it is a privilege to be the Club President during this special year. Over the coming months we have a variety of meetings and events with a VERY special fundraising lunch on behalf of CLASP, The Princess Royal Trust for Carers Centre, Leicester and Save The Children at The Walkers Stadium on 14th October, so please make a note in your diary. We would really like to see you there!

The Club has many on-going projects including our support for STEPS a specialist registered nursery based in Shepshed for children with motor learning difficulties, that caters for children from birth to school age. Most children who attend have cerebral palsy, Downs Syndrome or other similar conditions which make motor co-ordination difficult.

SIL works with other Soroptimist Clubs within the East Midlands Region and contributes to national & international issues through our federation SIGBI and plays an active role in decision making at all levels of society.

Our Club meets twice monthly - one business meeting alternating with a speaker meeting (which includes supper).
I look forward to the Club year as members work together, share friendship, enjoy social events and have fun.

If you would like to know more about Soroptimism why not visit us to hear more about our events and our local, national and international involvement.

Details and meeting dates can be found on our diary page or can be obtained from our Membership Co-ordinator,
Carin Davies on 0116 2412838. We look forward to hearing from you.
