Just a quick note to tell you all that I am thinking of you all and wishing you a fantastic Thanksgiving with family and friends. We all work so very hard to make things better for others but need to reward ourselves from time to time as well. I pray that you all have a happy and wonderful holiday.

Farewell to a Soroptisister

On Friday, November 6th former SI Chico member, Barbara Todd, passed away. After living in Sacramento for almost 30 years, Barbara retired from the petroleum industry after twenty years of service. Like so many others, she moved to Chico to be closer to her son, Michael, and her grandchildren. Retirement allowed her to enjoy theater, film, books, and bridge with much more regularity. Barbara joined SI Chico in July of 2004, and resigned her membership in September of this year due to health issues. Her sister will be arriving in Chico this week and more information will be available shortly at www.affordablemortuary.net. Her sponsor was Barbara Evans.

Also, just a reminder, we will be meeting in the "lounge" area of the Elk's Club tomorrow as the Elk's have a special speaker in the main room. It was suggested at last Wednesday's meeting that since some of our members had the day off, and the Elk's were up for it, they would make bar service available.

Finally, it was also suggested that we wear hats tomorrow to honor our dear friend and long time SI member Tish, who always wears a hat to club. (I just purchased one at JC Penny where ironically they have a big selection ON SALE!) Perhaps a picture or two can be taken and sent over to her/her family to know she's in our thoughts.

A Thank you from Past Governor Poco

Thank you Sierra Nevada Region Members.

To live in a non soroptimist world is like living in a void. There is so
much life that one can not even fathom the treasures and lessons to
share. I have been a member for 27 years and have not experiences the
out pour of love, thoughts, prayers and friendship as I have over the
past 7 weeks. Your synergy and love have touched my heart and given me
the strength and desire to motivate me to return to a healthy Poco.
Thank you for all the love and get healthly thoughts. I will see you soon.

Immediate Past Governor Poco

Thank you to everyone for a fantastic COTR. While there may have been a couple of glitches, for the most part, everyone seemed happy with the event. The new meeting area of the Atlantis was well received even though we had some trouble with the sound. Do understand that we were the test event for the resort and the bugs will be worked out prior to conference.

We ran out of region rosters and binders so if you did not get yours, please send me an email at suelcamp@hotmail.com so that I can get one to you. We are going to print some more of each and have them available at the Fall District Meetings. We will also have them available on CD's should you want one of those as well. We are trying to get a count of what might be needed so do let me know.
Keep in mind that the region roster is especially useful for contacting other clubs and region officers.

Thank you to those who attended COTR and we look forward to seeing the rest of you at COTR next year.
