The Sisters on Samui is not, as the name might imply, a religious sect or an emergency service but a group of international ladies who either live on Koh Samui or who are just visiting. The main objective of the SOS is to meet once a month for lunch in convivial surroundings, enabling members to meet in friendship and to welcome any new arrivals. To become a member, there are no complex forms to complete or initiation ceremonies - just turn up and introduce yourself. The only proviso is that you were "born a woman"!
Our lunches are held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at a different venue. Notifications are sent out a week in advance by email to those on the SOS address list. Our lunches are always well attended so it is essential to confirm your participation in advance to the organiser. Failure to do so may result in you "going hungry".
The charge for the lunch is Bt.400 of which Bt.100 is donated to charities of our choice throughout the year. As a women's group, the money normally goes towards children related projects. See where the funds have been allocated in previous years. THE SISTERS ON SAMUI MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Due to our member's consistent support, the 2010 Christmas lunch raised Bt. 67,200. This proves that the SOS lunches are not just enjoyable and fun occasions but an opportunity to do some good.
