Members Lucy, Carolyn and Laurie answer questions and pass out information about Soroptimists at our sponsor booth in April at the 2013 Multiple Sclerosis Walk held at the Maria Carrillo High school. Soroptimist International of Santa Rosa offers many services to the community, including student scholarships, sponsorships for other organizations, various hands-on service projects and support for rooms at the Family Support Center, YWCA Safe House as well for our own Soroptimist House for women who are turning their lives around. Each Soroptimist club has its own community service projects, but is also part of a larger international organization reaching around the world. The very first Soroptimist club started in 1921 in Alameda/Oakland and is part of Soroptimist International of the Americas, which is 1 of 4 Federations. The Americas Federation (SIA) has more than 1,400 clubs in 19 countries and territories including North and South America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Taiwan.
