About our Club

Hello!

2009 is an exciting year for SI Epsom and District, as we are celebrating our 50th Anniversary.  Looking through our archives, we have been reminded of the depth and scale of the Club projects and activities - all keeping faithfully to the Soroptimist mission of inspiring action and creating opportunities to transform the lives of women and girls.  Looking back has been a really worthwhile exercise.  Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we have indeed made a difference to people’s lives.  But we must also look to the future and this comming year will, we hope, also leave a legacy of change.

At the present moment we have 22 members - a small club with a big heart.

We meet every 3rd Monday in the month at 7.00 for 7.30 pm at The Haywain, Dorking Road, Epsom.  Our evening usually starts off with a talk by a visiting speaker and the second part of meeting is taken up with business matters. 

There is always plenty to talk about - Regional news, projects highlighted by the Programme Action Team, Fundraising and Social Events for our club and others in our region. Overseas links are very important to us.  We have sister clubs in France, Denmark, Australia, Japan and the Ukraine and club members enjoy hearing about their projects.  We never forget the health and well-being of members past and present and are always delighted to welcome prospective members to our meetings.

Between meetings, social events keep us busy and provide a welcome boost to our fundraising activities.  Involvement in serious activities or the more frivolous, ensures that membership of the Epsom & District Club is thoroughly worthwhile.
