Grace,
It was such a pleasure knowing you. You were so bright and alert.

My puppy will be eternally grateful for your sharing your crab cakes with her.

I speak for the entire club when I say that we have missed you this last year and we will always miss you.

You were a great addition to the world of Soroptimism.

May you rest in peace.

Pat

Correspondence A Thank You Note From our Christmas Family. Dearest Supporter of "WOW", Please accept my sincere and joyous appreciation for your love and support during this holiday season. If it were not for WOW and it's generous supporters I can guarantee I could never finish school. My three wonderful daughters are being so blessed this season because you care. Although I can't tell you to your face the results of generous action, please take my word that, "I promise to pay it forward!" My heart is filled with peace because my chilodren aren't suffering. May God continue to bless you and yours. Sincerely, Sharon

As the new year begins, we reaffirm our commitment to improving the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world. The new year also provides an opportunity to reflect on last year’s accomplishments. In a world still reeling from global economic collapse, Soroptimist has successfully maintained a steady keel as we continued to provide support and services for women and girls in need. The 2009-2010 Program Impact Report describes the positive effect Soroptimist programs have had on the lives of women and girls throughout the federation. As Soroptimist clubs participate in federation programs, the collective impact is astonishing. Consider the following: More than $2 million was distributed through federation programs. The lives of more than 10,000 women and girls were improved. Feel good about the organization you support and belong to. Congratulate your club on its fantastic work. Raise awareness in your community about the international impact of our organization. Thank club supporters and encourage even more engagement. Congratulations on all your efforts to improve the lives of women and girls. Because of you, women and girls throughout the world are living their dreams. Sincerely, SIA Headquarters
