Service is the heart of Soroptimism which centres its ac- tivities in four major fields -- community service projects for welfare and civic improvement; promotion of internatiopal good- | will and understanding; participa- tiom in public affairs; and the sponsoring of Venture Clubs of younger business and profession- al women. During Founders' Month of Oc- tober, Soroptimist of the Amer- icas contribute thirty-seven pen- nies each to the Founders' Week Fund whch finances Internation- al Fellowships. To date fourteen such Fellowships have been granted for post graduate study in a wide variety of fields rang- ing from neuro-psychiatry to group dynamics to sociology. Lo- cally, the Soroptimist Club was chartered in 1956. Since its incep- tion this group has been active in serving the community with particular emphasis on youth and age. During the past vear 38 Indian and Eskimo children at Muskoka Hospital were provided with craft materials for occupational ther- apy and remembered as in- dividuals at the festive seasons. A Hungarian family was adopted and given extensive material as- sistance during. the vear. A mem- ber of the club was appointed to the committee set up by the city to assist in integrating the new | Canadians into their environment. A keen and human interest in the senior citizens of the district resulted in many friendly visits to them. Assistance was given in be unable to attain. Soroptimists experienced a warm thrill when a suitable applicant was given the award for 1958-1959. The necessary funds to sponsor these projects were raised by the sale of magazines, newspapers and Christmas enclosure gift cards; through rummage dis- posal; through the sponsoring of a fine china fashion show.
