News From Karen:
I was invited as a Soroptimist to three events just this week. The groundbreaking of veterans housing thru Homeless Emergency Project in Clearwater.
The National Society of Arts and Letters Luncheon at the Belleair Country Club honoring Dr. Zena Lansky. The USF Botanical Gardens Annual Plant Fair Soroptimist Booth in Tampa. I contributed to all on behalf of our club and had a fantastic time doing it
Take care,
Karen

Thank you, Karen, for adding to our image and good works.

S.O.L.T.
Service Funds are due on March 31st of each FISCAL year. (These funds are for the currant fiscal year.) Remember that you are responsible each year for $100 in service funds.  You may raise these either by writing a check,  advertising in our WHW ad booklet, or by using our banner to have your own fundraiser.  All funds raised under our banner must come to our service fund. Each person that participates in an ad hoc fundraiser is still responsible for a total of $100 in service funds.
(Example.  3 members hold a garage sale.  They raise $310.  The total amount must come to our service fund.  All 3 members have covered their service funds.  But if 3 members  raise $270,  each member is still responsible for $10 more to cover their service funds.)
