Message from President
 Bonnie Chapman 

Greetings Soroptimists!

What do you call a guy with a rubber toe?
 
Roberto!
 
Well, in just about a month, I will hold my last meeting as President of SI Chico. It's hard to believe. I was sharing this with my family this weekend and they are all shocked that they attended my Installation almost a full year ago. Speaking of Installation, it's time to save your spot at the Installation of incoming President Carrie. Tickets are $40 for one person or $75 for a pair. Since we aren't having a regular meeting in the next 2 weeks, you can mail your check made payable to SI Chico to Sara Beacham at Stoner & Associates, 3120 Cohasset Rd, #8, Chico 95973. It will be another fun evening and a great time for us to celebrate the start of Carrie's year. 
 
Speaking of Carrie's year, I hope each of you will take the opportunity to turn in a committee request form. Carrie is collecting these up until Saturday, May 25th (see article below from Carrie with form attached). Those who don't indicate a preference will be assigned to a committee by Carrie. 
 
Speaking of committees, happy committee meeting week everyone!
 
It's another great week to be a Soroptimist!


With Gratitude,
