Soroptimists Summer

Summer is quickly fading into the sunset but looking on the horizon here's an update on what's unfolding. We're meeting to the Left of City Hall at Noon every Thursday until we resume our regular meetings. President Libbey reminds us to bring a hat and sunscreen with our lunch. Here is more from Libbey.

"Mark your calendars! This year we will be holding a planning workshop for the out-going and in-coming board and all the members are invited. It will be Thursday August 5th from 6-9 PM in the Dona Benicia Room at the Library. Come help us make plans for the coming year and beyond.  I will be providing a salmon salad dinner so let me know if you can come.

Also, mark your calendars for Thursday August 26th. We will be holding our end of the summer potluck at Kathy Griffin’s house at 297 St Augustine Dr.at 6 PM. It is a fun time to catch up before we start our regular meetings in September.

For correspondence this week we received a thank you letter from Benicia Grad Night for the donation of $200. The letter was signed by our member Lisa McVeigh as a member of the Grad Night committee. We also received an invitation to SI Napa’s annual Lobster Dinner Fundraiser on Nov 13. I hear it is an experience!  Further correspondence was from the trust of Elvira E. Appe who died on June 31, 2010. Some of you long time members may remember her. Please share your memories with the rest of us. Elvira named the Benicia Soroptimist Scholarship Fund in her trust. It may be some time before we know if there is any money that will come to the club as Elvira became ill and spent most of her savings paying for her care.  

That is all for now,
Pres Libbey"
Be colorful and enjoy the sunshine!
