Message from President

Greetings Soroptimists!


What do sea monsters eat?
Fish and ships.
 
I know there are 5 members from our club spending the weekend trying to recover from a whirlwind trip to Japan. Our internal clocks are all turned around but it was well worth it. We will be sharing our experiences with all of you beyond the photos on Facebook during a program in September. It was sure a memory maker!

Retreat is almost upon us and I am thankful to the Events Committee for working on all the details. If you haven't signed up yet, there is still time. We will have a full day with lots in store and plenty of variety of activity, good food, friendship and fun. It will be worthwhile to come even for just a portion of the day if you are able.

Have a great week everyone!
 
 

With Gratitude,
