Congratulations to Soroptimist International of Kawartha Lakes on celebrating their 15th Anniversary. The first meeting of the fiscal year was held September 15th, 2026 at Lakeland Funeral Home in their community room. Thank you for the lovely hospitality!
The new executive was installed by Tanna E. of Peterborough; a special carrot cake was made and donated by Susan Simpson, a former member; and we all enjoyed a lovely dinner provided by current members.
Congratulations to all.
