Message from President
 Bonnie Chapman 

Greetings Soroptimists!

What do you get if you cross an alligator with a flower?

I don't know but I'm not going to smell it!

Well friends...Alzheimer's sucks. As many of you know, my mother-in-law passed on Saturday, after a grueling week spent at her bedside by our family. It has been a very long and difficult journey. I have reflected many times at the extreme gratitude I have for all of you and our club with the support for my President's projects this year. It gives me some peace knowing we made a tiny difference. 

I literally missed everything last week and am sorry for that, but feel glad that it all went so well. I'm especially proud of Natalie and Erase the Stigma. I've read many comments about its success. Good work as always, SI Chico.

It's another great week to be a Soroptimist.


With Gratitude,
