Message from President
 Bonnie Chapman 

Greetings Soroptimists!


What's red  and smells like blue paint?

Red paint!

Once again, thank-you all so very much for the support given to me while I served as your President. I can say that I fully felt the love and I'm so grateful. If you missed last week's meeting and are interested in my power point, there is a link in this eblast. I am also including a link to our updated 2018-19 Strategic Plan indicated which goals we have achieved. Check it out .

Thanks again to those who served on the 2018-19 Board; Carrie, Billie, Natalie, Bev, Miles, Jeanne, Kit, Joan, Janet, Stephanie and Nancy. I also want to acknowledge those members who served in Co or Tri Chair roles to our six committees; Kim, Miles, Marge, Star, Cyndi, Jackie, Sandi, Gayle, Joyce, Natalie, Carolyn, Joan, Tonya and Sara. A special shout out to a few of our members who essentially chaired a "sub-committee", Bev and Kim (membership), Renee (Dream it be it) and Kathy (internal fundraising). Thanks to Kathy and Natalie for doing the lunch lady job this year and to Carolyn for filling in the gaps. Thanks to all those who supported my President's project work through the Walk to End Alzheimer's and Hilarity for Charity. We made a great contribution through these two projects this year.

The Camp Fire ad-hoc committee has met multiple times a month since November and has led our club in a number of recovery projects. This committee was additional work taken on by these 7 members, beyond their other committee duties; Carrie, Billie, Jackie, Sue, Dawn Maureen and Janet...thank-you all! An extra special thank-you with sprinkles on top to Natalie who stepped up to manage every detail of the SI Chico Camp Fire effort. This was a huge undertaking and I am so grateful for this work she did. In addition, all the members who stepped up to be the Captains for our Camp Fire Soroptimists and also for our community families were so awesome. Thank-you all for this assistance.

I am filled all the way up with pure gratitude for this club and the members. My thanks to you all.

Over and out,
Soroptimist International of Chico
