President - Helen
Sager Several of our club members attended the 3 day conference in San Ramon, California along with 450 other Soroptimists and guests. This event included informative workshops, guest speakers, the installation of new Region Officers, and a chance to listen to the inspirational stories from the many women and girls who were our Award winners at the District and Region level. The picture just to the right of President Helen was submitted to our own Founder Region along with pictures from many of the region's 56 clubs. Each club was given a word or phrase, and they were challenged to show how their club personified that word's meaning. Our club took a moment to show how our club can "SHARE" with the community as we honored scholarship winners at our recent annual Awards Luncheon. In addition to scholarships, our club offers sponsorships for other organizations, 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 was organized in 1921 in Alameda/Oakland in our own Founder Region. There are 26 Soroptimist Regions within Soroptimist International of the Americas and 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.
