Soroptimist (pronounced suh-rop-tuh-mist) means “best for women.” Women at their best, helping other women to be their best. It’s a volunteer organization for business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls through financial scholarships and educational programs. Denim and Diamonds is the organization’s major fundraiser.
“Proceeds will benefit the Clovis Marjaree Mason Safehouse, ‘Live Your Dream’ and ‘Dream It – Be It,’ Soroptimist award programs for women and girls,” said Judith Preuss, Chairman of Denim and Diamonds.
The “Dream It – Be It” conference is for high school girls and provides tangible strategies for accomplishing career goals.
“The next one will be held on Saturday, February 29, 2020, at Clovis High School,” said Soroptimist, Linda Gillis. “All of the CUSD high schools, Sierra High and Memorial High, will be invited to the event in February.”
