Soroptimists awarding deserving young women in South Lake Tahoe

Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra and Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe are accepting applications for the VIOLET RICHARDSON AWARD.

Each year the two local Soroptimist clubs honor young women in our community ages 14-17 who are engaged in volunteer deeds such as fighting drugs, crime and violence; cleaning up the environment; or working to end discrimination or poverty.

Each recipient will receive $100.

Interested applicants can visit www.sitahoesierra.org or www.sislt.org for information and application. Contact: Sandy Williams kesan7@sbcglobal.net. Applications are due by December 1, 2014.
