Installation




Installation for the 10/11 Soroptimist International of Lodi Sunrise was AWESOME!! Thank you all for coming, thank you to Susan for lending us your backyard and organizing it all and thank you to everyone who helped. I know it was a joint effort and everyone played a part. That is what makes our club so great!
Special thanks to District III Director Nancy for doing the Installation and the last minute fill in for me and doing the Induction of our 3 (yes, 3) new members!!! Thank you to Terry, Bernadette, and Merry for coming to celebrate with us. Merry if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be in Soroptimist, and I can't thank you enough.

Welcome Cheri, Debbie, and Mary........you have joined an awesome group of women doing important work, we're thrilled to have you all. Thank you to the rest of the board for agreeing to go on this journey with me, it's going to be a lot of work, but it's also going to be fun! I promise!

And thank you to Maxine, and the rest of the 09/10 board for giving us a good example of how to do the job we all signed up for. I love and appreciate all of you so much. Lastly, thank you Pete, for supporting me all the way through this and doing all you do without complaint. I wouldn't be able to do anything without you, and I wouldn't want to.
