Soroptimists Supporting Brainwave
The Brainwave Trust has been very fortunate over the last two years to have received wonderful support from the Soroptimist International New Zealand organisation. This support has been both financial and “hands on”.Â
In March we were presented with a very generous donation from the Auckland group, who have been fundraising on our behalf, organising & paying for Brainwave presentations and working quietly in the background to help make many of our events and projects possible.  A very efficient team of ladies recently spent a day compiling the 350 kit bags for the Family Ties Conference.Â
We wish to extend a special thank you to Mary Lewin, who has co-ordinated the Soroptimists efforts around the country to help Brainwave; and Daphne Wood an Auckland member who has also been a great support. To top if off; this month they both gave Brainwave a generous personal donation of the money they earned supervising exams.Â
These wonderful Soroptimist’s donations will be used next month to finance a Presenter Hui in Auckland. We have presenters around the country who will benefit greatly from spending time together, sharing ideas & experiences, discussing new research etc.
The Soroptimist International organisation is a worldwide organisation for women in management and the professions, working through service projects to advance human rights and the status of women and also to promote equality, development and peace. If you would like to know more about the Soroptimists or are interested in joining their organisation, click on www.siswp.org
