Soroptimist International of Chico

 Soroptimist International of ChicoIt's been my pleasure and honor the past 10 years to be a member of Soroptimist International of Chico , a local chapter of this phenomenal worldwide service group. The mission statement of Soroptimist International reads: "Soroptimist is a world wide organization for women in management and professions working through service projects to advance human rights and the status of women."Our local club celebrated it's 75th anniversary several years ago by pledging $75,000 for the establishment of a Salvation Army rehab center .Our largest fundraiser, the Home, Garden & Antique Show , is scheduled for March 15 & 16, 2008, at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds here in Chico. Hope to see you there!

It's Good to be Green!

A recent issue of Country Home Magazine listed our little town of CHICO in the Top 20 "Greenest" cities in the U.S. One of the reasons for this honor may be the Chico Green Campus program which has been established at CSUC. This student-designed program was created to "raise student, staff and faculty awareness about energy efficiency and the relationship between it and the environment."

Way to go, Chico!
