Here is Susan's Story:

" About a week ago Chatliner Kathy McElvany from Golden West Region posted that she was going to be spending the New Year with some friends in Napa. I immediately wrote to her and told her I am only 9 miles from Napa and would love to meet her. During the next couple of days we wrote back and forth hoping to get together for coffee. She mentioned that she'd been trying to find a Soroptimist club for her sister. Turns out that club is not far from here either. So we planned to all three get together and talk about it when Kathy got here.

"Well...because of Kathy's husband's work they had to cancel their trip here over the New Year...but we made plans for her sister Diana to be my guest at a meeting of Soroptimist International of Central Solano County, a club I helped charter two years ago.

"Diana is a true delight. She owns a photography studio. She fit right in with the fun today at the club meeting where everyone brought a "white elephant" item (something you received for Christmas or had around the house that wasn't your type of thing and might be someone else's treasure). Each member told about their item and then auctioned it off to raise funds for the Tsunami disaster. Several hundreds of dollars were raised and lots of fun and laughter and bidding made it a great meeting for a prospective member to see Soroptimists doing what they do best..... having fun and raising funds and providing service!

"Diana will become a member of SI/Central Solano County soon and I have asked for and have been granted permission of performing her induction!

"Another wonderful part of this story is that Kathy has three sisters...and now all four sisters are members of Soroptimist...in Upland, California, Chico, California, Long Beach, California and soon to be in Fairfield, California. In addition their mother is a past member of Soroptimist!
