46th Annual Christmas Fantasy
An Old Fashioned Christmas
Over 160 people attended this year's Christmas Fantasy. What could have been better than great food, fabulous raffle and door prizes, and gorgeously decorated Christmas Trees? The knowledge that everyone came together to support our Dreams Programs for Women and Girls. Some of our attendees are "paying it forward". The winner of our Child's Christmas Tree gave it to his son who recently announced his engagement. The winner of our angel themed tree donated the tree to a local church.

Soroptimist at Work
We donated $250 dollars to the Assistance League's Operation School Bell. The program provides school clothes to local children. Read more.


Eight applicants applied for our 2020 Live Your Dream Award. The recipients will be honored and recognized at our awards banquet later in the New Year.
Helping Others

This fall we gave $250 to Soroptimist of Idyllwild. Their community was ravaged this past summer with flooding and wildfire. The donation will help them continue their programs.
Upcoming Event
Guess Who's Turning 50 in January? We Are!
SI Victor Valley was formed in January 2070. To celebrate, we are giving ourselves a Bunco Birthday Party at the home of Kathleen Oles on Saturday, January 17. The party will be preceded by a Board/ Business Meeting beginning at Noon. More details to follow. If you are interested in becoming a Soroptimist this would be a great way to learn about us, meet us, and celebrate with us.
