Message from President
Billie Araiza
Greetings!

I hope everyone enjoyed the week off and had a nice Thanksgiving. My husband and I spent Thanksgiving in our motorhome in Sacramento, parked in my Brother-in- law’s driveway, eating homemade potato soup. Mike and I sure didn’t think we would be spending another Thanksgiving in our motorhome so soon after the campfire. We have spent the last four days packing and moving my mother-in-law to Chico so she can be closer to us. I’m looking forward to hearing about everyone else’s Thanksgiving adventures. Perhaps we will have some members sharing their stories in the Happy Dollar section of the eblast.

This Wednesday is our Business meeting so please join us on Zoom to hear about all the things happening in Soroptimist.


With Gratitude,

President Billie
