BESTfor Women

¡Hola Amigas! Hello friends and fellow Soroptimist. First of all, I want to thank everyone who made the installation a memorable event for me. Thank you Installation Banquet Committee. The Fiesta theme, Folkloric dancers and decorations hit just the right note for the evening’s festivities. Kay Lynne thanked Amanda, Debbie and Alex in particular that evening; I want to thank them again. Also to all the members of the committee who helped plan and set up the decorations from the sombreros, serapes, fiesta flags to the lovely ribbon festooned programs and flower fascinators. Your hard work was appreciated.

Our treasurer Barb Stout reports we now have 45 Soroptimist registered as members which includes Forty-two regular memberships with three life time memberships. We as your Board of Directors are very pleased with the growing number of Soroptimist. One of our goals is to make Soroptimist the Club of choice for women in the Rogue Valley. I know our current meeting space may become too small in the future but what a wonderful problem to have to solve. Please let our membership chairs, Barb Hetland and Karen Machin, know if you have any friends or business associates who might be interested in joining. They are considering having a fun event in September to invite these possible future members.

Finally, it’s summer time and the heat has arrived. This is the season we traditionally use to recharge our energy and enthusiasm by vacationing, gardening, and visiting with our family and friends out of state or at home. We also have fun and raise money in Our Pillow Booth at OSF. Kathy Garrett-Canape and I will be traveling to Hawaii soon to attend Federation. We will have information to share with you in the fall. I look forward to seeing all of you in September, rested from your travels with great storIes to share about your summer adventures.

In soroptimist friendship,

President Georgina

I made my career in management consulting, working with organization change and strategy. I feel that I can return some of the advantages I have had in life by working with SIAshland, and am happy Barb Stout introduced me and brought me in! I am ex-cited to get to know a wonderful group of interesting, community-minded women as I get started in Ashland. I look forward to work-ing with the school and hands-on projects, and the pillows sound fun! Thanks for having me!” —Cory Ross

The party originally scheduled for the first weekend of summer had to be cancelled due to cold rainy weather and rescheduled for the first weekend in July. So, with temperatures predicted in the high 90’s the party at Susan Hollandsworth’s backyard went on without a hitch. We had one of our largest crowds with 20 people in attendance. This is the first time in three years people actually used the pool. Yes, it was that hot. Barb Hetland was the first one in, then Patti , Georgina and finally John jumped in the pool.

The menu included carnitas, re-fried beans with jalapenos, Spanish rice

with green peas, ceviche, freshly made taco shells, chips and salsa, a taco bar, margaritas, freshly brewed tea, soft drinks, beer and wine plus Ice cold water. Desert was Tres Leches cake with blue berries and raspberries. Party goers included Karen Machen, Kathy G-C, Signa Fischer, Mavis Cloutier, Kathy Mooney, Mike Mooney, Joy Dobson Way, Gail Rosenberg, Larry Rosenberg, Alex Zaremska, John Rose, Patti Lane, David Lane, Yolanda Nagel, Rick Nagel, Barb Hetland, David Hollandsworth and Terry Holderness.

Everyone had so much fun they said we can hardly wait until next year. So, we will have another Margarita Taco Pool Party next July and avoid the cold and rain.
