Message from President
Carrie Pavis 

Greetings Soroptimists!  


OMG, can I just say Epicurean Rendezvous was out of this world.
There are not enough thank you's out there to express what an
AMAZING job our fundraising committee did, and especially Ann Leon for all  of your hard work and generosity to our club! It was so fun and the  food, wine and dessert were delicious. I can't wait to hear how much  money was raised.

I would also like to thank those of you who helped at the
Alzheimer's walk on Saturday, it felt good to do some community service.  I am so proud to be a Soroptimist!

For once I can say it's going to be a quiet week.  I look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday and learning about the  different committees we have.


President,

October Member of the month, Margarita Vega

I was born on November 13th, 1979, at Sutter Memorial in Sacramento, CA. I was born and raised in Northern California, from Sacramento to Paradise, then Chico. I'm the oldest of six, five girls and one boy, we all live in Chico. I have several children myself, two girls, one boy and four Shih Tzu's. I graduated as a student of the year in 1998 from Ridgeview High in Magalia.
 
In 2003, I got a job at La Hacienda. I started as a host, moved up to serving, and after one year, I worked my way into management. In 2011, myself and two others were given the opportunity to buy La Hacienda. I genuinely love what I do, and all the kids from (18-24) we employ are MY kids we're FAMILY. I get to see them grow and mature into young adults. 
 
My most significant accomplishments are my kids; I have raised two well-rounded young women. Edward's only three so he has a way to go, but he knows to say thank you, please, excuse me, and of course the word us moms all love NO! 
 
Fun facts you didn't know about me:
  • Mosquito's, to my itchy misfortune, absolutely adore my scent. With me around, everyone else is safe.
  • My favorite food is pizza ( major weakness)
  • I primarily write in cursive. A teacher once described my handwriting as "beautifully neat from afar, but illegible up close."
  • I love laughing so hard that it spurns on tears, causing my hidden abs to spasm, which results in shortness of breath. Laughing truly is the best medicine.
  • My favorite person to scare is my sister, Gabby. She has a fear of porcelain dolls, and I own several.
Congratulations Margarita for being our member of the month!  
   

I really appreciate the timely manner that I have been receiving your articles and I hope that continues.  You all Rock!
