SI South Perth once again supported the City of South Perth at its Australia Day Celebration Zone. It is the tenth year that we have been involved with the event and a roster of ten Soroptimists ran the Event tent, providing maps, answering queries, handing out sunscreen and give-aways, and providing ID wristbands to parents of young children.
The family-friendly event spanned 10 hectares and included 100 free activities and roving entertainment, a range of food vendors and ample shade and picnic areas for families to enjoy throughout the afternoon. Over 180,000 people visited the foreshore to soak up the sunshine and atmosphere and our team of volunteers enjoyed a well-earned sleep after the fireworks.
Happy Mothers’ Day to all Mums. Every year, SISP members get together to prepare single roses to be delivered to ladies who receive Meals on Wheels from the South Perth Senior Citizens’ Centre. This is an opportunity to reach out to the local community and bring some joy to those who are alone or removed from their families. We wish everyone a happy day.
From the first time in participating in the Cancer Council WA’s Relay for Life, SISP has taken on the challenge of raising much-needed funds for research into this dreadful disease.
