"S" Club Helps Those in Need
Carondelet's Soroptimist Club, better known as the "S" Club, has been very busy this month.
Club members helped Julie Scales from Stitches with Love stuff more than 70 Christmas gift bags with handmade shawls for homeless women in Bay Area shelters.
And with a generous donation from the Soroptimist International of Diablo Vista - whose mission is to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment - the "S" Club also purchased 15 Christmas stockings and stuffed them with gifts for homeless children served by Shelter, Inc.
What a way to share the Christmas spirit. "S" Club, you are women of heart!
