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!

Wine pull Lily, Linda, Sharadin, & Kathy

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.
