I attended our Soroptimist evening, my first in 6 months. Soroptimist is a coined word meaning best for women and is an International women's service organization I have belonged to for 13 years. It is structured like Rotary with a variety of professions represented. We have done many projects in our area during the past 56 years since the club was chartered. My favourite is ReSTART, standing for Surviving Today and Restarting Tomorrow. This program provides complete kitchen, bedroom and bath items to start a new life when leaving a transition house to begin independent living away from the abuser.
Tonight we provided gardening help to the local Women's Centre and while we were getting the gardens in shape, Adrienne, one of our members was cooking up a great meal for us. Delicious and much appreciated.
