Message from President
Carrie Pavis
Greetings!.
Happy Birthday SI Chico, and thank you, Roseann Bradley, for opening your home so that we could kick off our 90th birthday celebration with a cocktail party. Of course, none of this would have been possible without our Events Committee. Thank you, once again, you put on a fabulous evening. We had so many Soroptimist and also a lot of husbands. My heart is full, and I am so looking forward to our birthday celebration this Wednesday.
 
We have the dates set for Dress a Girl sewing nights. You received an e-mail from Signup Genius, see article below, with the dates and times. For our new members, if you don't sew, that's not a problem. Many of the jobs don't include sewing. I encourage all of you to come out and see how much fun we have at our sewing events.
 
If you are on the fence at all about our 46th Biennial Soroptimist Convention in Bellevue Washington, Wednesday the 15th is the last day for early registration. I know there are at least 6 of us going from our club. If you have any questions please feel free to email  pavismom2@yahoo.com ,  call or text me 530-519-5381, and I will be happy to answer any questions. This link will take you to the Facebook page:
 
 
I hope everyone has had a Happy New Year so far, and I am looking forward to seeing all of you on Wednesday!


In service,
Soroptimist International of Chico
