May Program Update

Hi all,

At the May Business Meeting we welcomed back our Board Members who have returned from Hawaii. Yes, you too can visit a wonderful destination site when you become a Soroptimist Board Member and go to the Annual Conference!

Here's an update on what's coming up for those of us who are not in Hawaii.

Monthly Programs*

May 13 - No clue I must have been sipping my iced tea but it will be at Mike and Gayles in the Southampton Shopping Center and don't you love surprises?
May 20 - A field trip to the Soroptimist Grove in Benicia at the Community Park off of Rose Drive.
May 27 - Book Talk - Our own Helaine Bowles will entertain us with a presentation of the books recently read by library book groups. She'll bring books to purchase if one catches your fancy.
June 3 - Business Meeting
June 10 - Secret Pals will be revealed. All Secret Pal participants bring your final gift to the meeting.

* Unless noted otherwise meetings are held at Mike and Gayles in the Southampton Shopping Center. A buffet lunch is offered for $15. When you get the e.mail notice, let them know if you will be having lunch so they can plan on how many to feed.

Chocolate Wine & Fashion
Pick up your raffle tickets at the next meeting to sell to friends, family, and anyone you think would be interested in winning in a wonderful gift. I've seen the raffle prizes and any one of them is a real find.
