Soroptimists Postpone Awards Gala
March 19, 2020---Soroptimists International of Vista and North County Inland is postponing our Live Your Dream Awards Gala for a later date. This year’s Gala was scheduled for April 3 at the Shadowridge Golf Club. The 8 women who would have been receiving awards will now receive their checks and certificate via registered mail. Current event sponsors and ticket holders will be offered full refunds. Our club hopes to hold some kind of celebration for them in the future, depending on the state of the COVID 19 pandemic.
Our club is part of a worldwide women’s organization that seeks to economically empower women and girls who face obstacles such as poverty, violence, and teen pregnancy. We are also active in the fight against human trafficking. Worldwide we have about 160,000 members and supporters in 21 countries and territories. We are one of four federations that make up Soroptimist International, which has clubs in more than 120 countries throughout the world.
Our local Soroptimist club, with members from Vista, San Marcos, Fallbrook and Escondido holds fundraisers each year to raise money for education grants to local women who have faced extraordinary hardships, yet are determined to pursue and achieve their educational and professional goals. Last year, our club awarded a total of $15,000 to three deserving women attending local colleges. This year, we are doubling our impact and six women will be receiving this award!
