SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra (SITS), comprised of professional women devoted to community service, was the Adopt A Day of Nourishment sponsor for the Bread & Broth Monday meal held on November 2. As a service club, the members strive to improve the lives of local women and youth through service in an atmosphere of support, friendship, and fun.
Lisa Cali, former club president, described the club’s commitment to the meals, “The Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra is always happy to volunteer at the Bread & Broth Monday Meal dinners.” She added, “We support this important resource in our community and appreciate all those that come together to make this outstanding dinner happen.”
At the early evening meal, in addition to Lisa Cali, the Soroptimists were represented by Adopt A Day crew members Laurie Flesher, Paula Peterson, Debbie Noorda, and Andrea Solis. In addition to these club members supporting the Monday Meal, Soroptimist members Wendy David and Lydia Rogers were also volunteering at the meal in their role as Bread & Broth cooks for the Monday Meal Team #1. It is truly impressive that the Soroptimist Club members engage in so many service projects in the community.
SITS is part of a global volunteer movement. SITS members enthusiastically support the Lake Tahoe South Shore community through service projects, grants, and awards. Bread & Broth is grateful that its meal program is among the many service projects SITS supports through both sponsorship and participation.
Having the SITS members join the Bread & Broth volunteers and serve the dinner clients was a really positive experience. These ladies truly enjoy serving others and it was expressed at the dinner by their warm smiles and obvious joy in serving others.
Lois Downey, the current SITS president, coordinated the club’s Adopt A Day sponsorship. “If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community, I invite you to join us,” she said. With more community members needing support, joining a service organization offers a way to give back while enjoying the camaraderie of women who share a commitment to helping others.
