As in previous years, the Soroptimist Concert was a lively one with a good variety of performers keeping the audience amused. It was held at the Ruthwill Auditorium on Friday April 25 with Michelle Roberts-Queely as the MC.

Soroptimist Dancers at the Concert

The Soroptimists started the show singing Yellow Bird and later in the programme a group of Soroptimist dancers presented the Electric Slide dance. The members also closed the show with a dance number.

During the evening the All Ah Wee Dancers performed admirably. Melanie and friends delighted the audience, as did Evalie Bradley with her monologue of days gone by. Excellent performances were also given by Bankie Banx, Harold Vanterpool, Hot Shot, Amelia Vanterpool-Kubisch, Elizabeth Orchard, Una Gumbs and Audrey Rogers who were all much appreciated. Special mention must be made of Walter Vanterpool who has performed at every Soroptimist Concert and always has the audience very amused.

Funds raised at the concert are to be used for the Soroptimist project for women’s health. This has already included providing mammograms for more than 20 women in the community and is now being extended to fund pap smears for women recommended by the various clinics. A leaflet is being distributed stressing the importance of these tests for all women.
