The Evergreen Bark
March April 2015 Soroptimist International of Everett
Our Grab the Grape event was a huge success! Special thanks to Terry Clark, Carol Wheeler and Vicci Hilty for all their work. We took in more than $10,000.00 for the event, still waiting for final figures when the Country Club gets their bill to Kelly and any other expenses. You will see the Flower Sale flyer toward the end of this newsletter. With the great weather we are having it will be so easy to go out and get those orders. Don't forget to mention that they will be ready for delivery before Mother's Day. All orders and money are to be turned into Rebecca Brayton. We are also busy preparing for our Awards, Scholarship, and Recognition Lunch to be held on April 22nd. Included in this Bark is the flyer for the Equality for Women event on March 25th. We voted to support this event in place of our Program meeting in March. The cost of the event is $20.00 per
person from 11:30 - 1:30. You will need to go to Eventbrite.com to pay for your lunch. This a joint event with Zonta, DVS, Senior Services, YWCA and Soroptimist. Thank you to Carol Wheeler for helping to make this event happen.
I would like to see a good turnout for our club, I will be there early and save seats so we can all sit together.
