Welcome to the Midland Chase Regional page! 

Our Regional President this year is Pauline Wright, a member of Tamworth club.

Midland Chase Region clubs span a spectrum of urban, suburban and rural areas; they are always keen to recruit new members. Please contact our Regional Membership Officer, Pam McGauley, if you would like to know more about a particular club in our area, with a view to joining our organisation, or contact the club direct.
 

Volunteering as guides

Members from Midland Arden and Midland Chase Regions, including including two 'Soroptimisters' from Central Birmingham volunteered as guides for blind and partially sighted visitors at the Queen Alexandra College Sight Village Exhibition at New Bingley Hall Exhibition Centre in Birmingham in July.

All agreed that it was a wonderful opportunity to offer real sercice in the community and would recomment it to Soroptimists, family and friends.

The volunteers were co-ordinated by Jan Hemlin, the UKPAC representative for Midland Arden, and Pauline Wright, Regional President of Midland Chase.

 

Four Generations of Soroptimists

Soroptimism seems to run in families in this Region. Taking one club, Cannock & District as an example, they have one second generation member, two third generation members and one fourth generation member. This member is currently on leave of absence having recently given birth to her second female child. Maybe this is one way to increase membership! It certainly shows the appeal of our movement to women of a range of ages.
