News about SI Danube
In June 2023 SI Ruse celebrated 10 years of activity. The tenth anniversary of the SI Club Ruse Charter took place from the 2nd to the 4th of June, 2023. The celebration included a welcome cocktail party, a feminist walk in the center of Ruse, followed by a boat trip on the Danube River, and a Gala dinner. On the third day, the Soroptimists visited
the Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo. This is one of the nine sites in Bulgaria included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Because oft he Covid-19-Pandemic it’s quite a long time since we Soroptimist sisters from Danube countries meet each other in person.
This year some of us could meet each other in Ulm, Germany, at the International Danube Festival“ in the frame of the partner meeting of the educational network „Danube-Networkers“ which took place
July 7st to July 10th, 2022. The sisters of SI Ulm-Donaustadt had been very happy to meet a delegate from SI Ruse and delegates from SI Bregenz, and spent a good time exchanging news and having a lot of joy together. And they were very sorry that the two sisters from Brasov had been unable to come in the last moment because of flight strike. But everyone hopes that the contact between the members of SI Danube will be activated again in autumn, through online meetings but also through personal meetings.
It’s been quite a time since we Soroptimist sisters from Danube countries met each other in person. Meanwhile, we kept contact by several virtual meetings.
This year we are looking forward to meeting each other in Ulm, Germany, at the „International Danube Festival“, planned to take place July 1st to July 10th, 2022.
Please note the date!
Sisters of SI Club Ulm-Donaustadt will be your hosts.
