I had the pleasure of speaking at an event on Wednesday night, November 5th for the Soroptimist International of York Region along with the awesome Ellen Campbell, Jacquie Herman and Tina Tehranchian. What a fabulous time we all had inspiring each other to be their best.

The name, Soroptimist, means "Best for Women", and that is what the organization strives to achieve. Soroptimists are women at their best, working to help other women to be their best. Soroptimist International is a worldwide service organization for women. They are committed to a world where women and girls together achieve their individual and collective potential, realize aspirations and have an equal voice in creating strong, peaceful communities worldwide.

They have 3 awards to women each year.

1. Women's Opportunity Award. This monetary award assists women to improve their education, skills and employment prospects. Eligible applicants must be women who provide the primary financial support for their families and who are enrolled in or have been accepted to a vocational/skills training program or an undergraduate degree program.

2. Violet Richardson Award. This award recognizes a female student's contribution in volunteering with an organization in the community.

3. Donna McCann Award. This award recognizes a special woman in our community who has made a significant contribution to the lives of women or girls.

I encourage you to check out this Fabulous group of women and attend one of their events.

Sheri Madjpour is the President for York and I am sure she would love to hear from you. Here is the link to the site and the email is siyorkregion@gmail.com http://siyorkregion.netfirms.com/

Have a wonderful day everyone and Remember to always Be Fabulous!
