A Message from the president

As we begin the month of June, I reflect on the past two years as your President. It took a while for me to feel comfortable. I knew I could turn to our current and former board members for advice. I also received great advice from some of the Region Board members. It has been an honor to serve our club. Please remember to Impart Wisdom, we each have something to give. If you have not stepped up to a Board position I hope you seriously consider leading a club committee.

I hope you are reading this while at the SNR Conference in Reno, Nevada. Conference is an exciting few days of being a Soroptimist. We meet other like-minded women from California and Nevada and of course have fun with our own club members.

If you did not attend Conference I hope you will consider attending SDR, the Soroptimist Development Retreat. This is for new members and for those stepping into a leadership position. We learn about the different club Board positions and all about Soroptimist. This will take place on the weekend of August 12th and 13th at the Atlantis Hotel in Reno, NV.

We have been hearing about the SIBR Craft Brew Fest for quite some time and it is finally here!! Please email me your Server # after you receive your certification. Thank you to those that already have.

A few days after our Craft Brew Fest, we will be installing our new Board members. This will take place on Tuesday, June 27th at Butte Creek BBQ’s new location. Come and support our new Board members!

Thank you for volunteering, Linda

Dues Increase: Frequently Asked

Continue making a difference in your community and across the globe by renewing your membership for the 2023-2024 club year! Like many organizations, SIA has felt the impact of the changes in the global economy. For the first time in five years, there will be a dues increase. The new pricing reflects a $2.00 COLA increase, a $2.00 liability dues increase (for club members in the United States), and the annual increase in the voluntary contribution of Founders Pennies. Your membership is important to the women and girls we serve, and we are taking steps to boost existing member benefits and expand our efforts for you. Please feel free to read our frequently asked questions for more information.
