Talent Challenge

Members use their talent to raise money. We are a very resourceful group and wait eagerly to learn of the creative ways our members have of making this a successful event. Some of the unique ways our members have used their talents to raise funds are:

Jam, wreath, knitted slippers and sweaters, senior’s discount receipts, air miles points, greeting cards (Stampin’ Up).

Card Parties

A euchre party is held each year in the party room of one member’s condominium. Guests pay a small fee for a night of euchre and fun. Snacks and drinks are provided. Prizes are plentiful and everyone takes one home. The high scorers have first choice of the prizes.

50/50 Draw

Funding for various Soroptimist programs is generated at our monthly meetings. The winner keeps one half of the “pot” and the other half helps fund such worthy projects as assisting victims of domestic violence, single-parent families, seniors and bus tickets for teenaged mothers continuing their education.

Greeting Cards

Creating greeting cards is our newest means of fundraising. Materials are generously donated by our member who has shared her talent in the field of “Stampin’ Up!”, a system of creating beautiful greeting cards to sell at such events as Soroptimist Spring Conference and Soroptimist Fall Region meeting, or to anyone who wishes to purchase them. Each card is unique! Order yours via email: dhuhtalo@cogeco.ca

Spring Raffle

At Soroptimist Eastern Canada Spring Conference our club provides a collection of items to sell or a gift basket to be raffled. The money raised funds local projects assisting women and girls. As well, some of this money is donated to Soroptimist International’s global projects.
