Margaret River and Busselton Sundowners

[Show as slideshow]

From Small Beginnings, Big Things Grow.

President Berenice and I travelled to Margaret River for a Sundowner at The Margaret River Resort with the intent of attracting interested parties to form a Soroptimist Club in the Margaret River area. Even though it was a small turn out, the result was very positive. We were offered the opportunity to have an information stall at ‘Foyer Fun,’ pre the show ‘Breast Wishes’ at the Cultural Centre on Tuesday 22 February. I attended this, and was able to get several names of prospective members. An introductory meeting was scheduled for Wednesday 15 March at 6.45pm at the Australis Hotel in Margaret River. President Berenice and I attended. A very positive outcome was achieved. We now have a small core of ladies in Margaret River who have taken ownership. They will communicate with each other, meeting on occasion to discuss ideas for a local project. Our next meeting there is scheduled for 22 June, 2011. A meeting place has been secured at the Australis Hotel in Margaret River, with the manager being an interested party as well.

Two Busselton ladies attended our Sundowner in Margaret River. Both are very interested in helping get a Soroptimist Club started in Busselton. As a result, President Berenice, Naomi Allan, Viv Kamen and I attended a Sundowner at The Equinox Café, Busselton, on Wednesday 16 March from 6.30pm – 8.30pm. to help kick start this region. We hope that the Busselton ladies will join us at the scheduled June meeting in Margaret River.

We are always appreciative of other Soroptimists who may wish to make the effort to attend these events.
