To
all our Soroptimist supporters! Just wanted to thank all of you for
your support on the feeding program. We collected well over $400.00,
by the time all comes in it might go over $500. We had a grand time
chanting “ soy, spice, chicken and rice” while we packaged
2,500 meals. There were about 20 in attendance including 4 high school
girls. The cartons were decorated, some with the Soroptimist logo. The
driving school was a great place to use, thanks to Pat Pottiger! Many
thanks to all who worked. I think we all had a grand time!!! Please
pat yourself on the back! The cartons will be off to Malawei, Africa
on Feb. 10th. The country has a shortage of corn this year, the growing
season has already passed, so this food will be a God-send to young
children in the villages.

FEEDING THE CHILDREN  It was great to see some of our new members working side-by-side with members who have been in the club for years. This is a great way to build friendships while having fun and giving something back to the community. |

NATT - NIGHT AT THE THEATRE The Night At the Theatre Committee was a determined group of women who had two major goals this year: 1) to SELL OUT the ENTIRE theatre, and 2) to make sure EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME. Mission accomplished!! It’s hard to hold a determined Soroptimist committee down, and this was no exception. It helped that they had a terrific musical comedy to promote - “Little Shop of Horrors,” a fantastic cast of local performers, wonderful catchy tunes (we still break into SUDDENLY SEYMOUR once in a while....) and the cooperation of the entire membership who heeded the call to sell the tickets they were given. We got a chance to promote the 2002 Garden Show at intermission, and even feed the crowd some yummies, including, of course, the fabulous Sees Candy! A big thanks to Olympic Theatre Arts for providing coffee & punch & assisting us in pulling this off. It was a wonderful fund raising experience - get involved next year if you get the chance! Night At The Theatre....raising a record-breaking $870 for our community!!! Thanks, thanks, thanks again NATT Committee! Alex Priest / NATT Coordinator |
