Social Luncheons

If there is a 5th Wednesday in the month our Events Committee plans a social luncheon at various locations. This is another way we get to know our Soroptimist Sisters better and form long lasting friendships.

January 29th, 2020

Our Events Committee planned this social at Panera Bread on January 29th, 2020. We ordered our food and met by the fireplace. It was a great turnout and as you can see by the attendance, it was an SI Chico takeover.

Fall Fundraiser Recap

Our 1st Annual Fall Fundraiser was a HUGE success. We raised just over $24,000 with 260 tickets sold.

The music provided by Dueling Piano’s Duo – Killer Keyz, was fantastic and guests requested their favorites all night. We enjoyed dancing and seeing some of our favorite Soroptimists out on the floor really enjoying themselves. One of the highlights was our very own Vilma Starnes.

The dessert auction was also a tremendous success We raised $3,500! Ann Leons’ chocolate desserts alone went for $500. Our wine pull was also a big hit!

Dinner was fantastic and the Big Room was decorated beautifully with a piano theme.

Retreat 2017

Our 2017 retreat was a blast and many of the ladies got to know one another so much better. We are focusing on Mental Health this year, so many women were sharing their stories or stories of family members. Was a wonderful and bonding time.
