SI Eastern Districts of Adelaide
Eastern Districts of Adelaide includes the council areas of Mitcham, Unley, Burnside, Norwood, Kensington and Campbelltown, taking in a large section of the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges which form the backdrop to the city of Adelaide. The area covers a diversity of ages, social and cultural backgrounds. Whilst our Club meets in Burnside, our projects range across the area and further afield.
Our Club, which was chartered in July 1968, currently has 15 members from various walks of life and across a wide age range.
We are an active and enthusiastic group who enjoy working to achieve the goals of Soroptimist International through fundraising functions and 'hands-on' activities as are set out below. Our particular focus is on Education and Leadership in line with the Soroptimist goals. Friendship and fellowship within the club and with members of other clubs is important to us. As a member of our organisation you will:
- be part of a global network of like-minded women;
- serve the community locally, nationally and globally, and
- make new friends locally and across the world, and have fun.
