Stay Safe!

As many of our club members are being evacuated in Northern California because of the recent fires, we wish them and their families good health and safety. We send our thanks to the first responders for putting their lives on the line to save our homes, businesses, and communities.
 
As you know, Soroptimists are generous, caring people. It is our nature to want to help when we see people suffering or those in need. With that in mind, we encourage our clubs to donate to local organizations that serve women and girls. We know that women and girls are always more vulnerable during and after disasters. Domestic violence shelters, for instance, are often in great need post-disasters, and shelters may be damaged or overwhelmed by new demand.

If you wish to donate to such organizations, SIA Program Director Jackie Shrauger can help you ensure that funds will be going to an above-board organization capable of helping local women and girls in an expedient and meaningful way. Feel free to reach out to her at jaclyn@soropitmist.org.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Zoom Tutorial. We had 105 members registered and 75 who actually attended.  We received great feedback and have decided to offer further trainings. Please join us for a Website Tutorial on November 15th with Public Awareness Chair Jackie DeVires and myself.
