Talent Challenge
Members use their many talents 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 making, hand made wreaths, knitted slippers and sweaters, painting on canvas, senior’s discount receipts, air miles points, home made greeting cards.
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.
Monthly Prize Draw
Funding for various Soroptimist programs is generated at our monthly meetings. Tickets are sold and the winner keeps the prize. The funds go towards supporting our various projects and prorams.
Greeting Cards
Creating greeting cards has been a successfull means of fundraising for the club. Materials are generously donated by members, we get together at members homes for a potluck lunch and create 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!
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.
