Helen Sager
President Helen (far left) and our club members have been busy with community service projects, club programs and Christmas festivities these past two months.

Helped by Soroptimist club members and spouses, Cat Svengros, Development Director for Social Advocates for Youth (S.A.Y.) is loading boxes of sleeping sleeping bags and protective tarps into their van . With the help of local business discounts and grants, as well as donations from business associates and friends, the club donated over 2000 pairs of socks and 50 sleeping bags with protective tarps to S.A.Y for homeless youth on Sonoma County streets this winter.

Our club had a chance to watch a "Safety Pals" demonstration from Cal Fire at a recent program meeting and see how their staff will interact as clowns with an audience of children, showing them how fire teams work as they fight fires.

(far right) Sienna from InterFaith Shelter Network is the case manager of our Soroptimist (transition) House. Seated on the left in the house living room, she joined club members and the women residents for a Christmas party which included hot dishes, salads and Christmas treats. These women can stay up to 2 years as they meet goals and change their lives.

We will soon participate in a club retreat as we review current goals and new projects which will include continuing support for local scholarships and community services for the next club year.
