        History

        The Soroptimist Club of Nanaimo was chartered in 1946 as a member of the Soroptimist International Association. As a women's service club, the Soroptimist's goals were to bring together women from many different occupations to participate in community betterment activities and to advance international understanding, goodwill and peace. Long term members included Lena Martin, Dorothy McPhillips, Roma Conroy and Emily Kneen. One of the Club's most significant projects, in collaboration with the Kiwanis Club, was the development of Senior Citizens' Homes in Nanaimo. The club also supported youth and contributed to United Nations' funds. The Soroptimists were famous for their Christmas puddings which were an important fundraiser. The club disbanded in 1973.
