Rosemary speaks with Marney Parma The Secretary of Soroptimist International Moreton North Inc.  at North Lakes

Soroptimist International Moreton North Inc. (SIMNI) is a vibrant and dynamic service club for women of all ages who have an interest in sharing their skills and expertise to improve the lives and opportunities of others in our local and global communities.
SIMNI is currently the only Soroptimist International Club in the Region of South Queensland situated in the outer northern suburbs of Brisbane and covers the entire area of the Moreton Bay Region.

At our Tuesday night Business Meetings, held on the 2nd Tuesday night of the month, Members and Guests have the opportunity to discuss current and future project/event activities. These meetings are popular for those busy family women who also work fulltime.

If you are looking for an opportunity to make a difference to the lives of women and girls, enjoy having fun with other like-minded women and have a passion for raising the status of women and working for human rights and global peace then please contact us via email at simoretonnorth@siswp.org or visit the SIMNI FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/SIMoretonNorthInc
