In addition to the benevolent outreach Soroptimist International performs worldwide, we also see to a variety of worthwhile local projects.

More projects are in the planning stage
  
  
• Domestic Violence Prevention – Our club works with the Women's Justice Center who provide bilingual service to women and children who are victims of Domestic Violence and sponsor other community education programs dealing with domestic violence prevention such as the Sonoma County YWCA Domestic Violence Services outreach to women and youth.
  
  
• Earle Baum Center of the Blind –- Provide hands on support at their summer picnic and October fundraiser by setting-up and monitoring their Silent Auction tables.
