Message from President
 Bonnie Chapman

Greetings Soroptimists!

How do you mend a jack-o-lantern?

With a pumpkin patch!

Wow...just wow. And thank-you to all the MANY Soroptimists who supported our SI Chico Team. We surpassed our goals, people donated money and time and best of all we united around a cause that is near and dear to so many. I will share more details at club this week with pride. Thanks again all.

Looking forward to our "bring a friend to lunch" meeting on Wednesday. We will have many guests and be able to show off our great membership and the work we do!

It's another great week to be a Soroptimist!



With Gratitude,
