The Chestnut Tree at the Copenhagen Town Hall
Square
At
the time of the 50th Anniversary two of the founder-members
still participated in our club work. It was characteristic that they and
many other members reached a great age while still active in club life and
in the surrounding society as well.
To honour these women the Club obtained
permission to plant a chestnut tree at the Copenhagen Town Hall Square – at
the most beautiful corner next to the Hans Christian Andersen Statue.
The tree was inaugurated at a reception at
the Copenhagen Town Hall with participation of members from all Danish
Clubs in 1996 on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the foundation of
Soroptimist International.
