Hafa Adai SIM Members,

The months of March and April kept SIM members busy and on the go. On March 8, 2013 S

collaborated with SIG during the annual Soroptimist Charter Night held at the Sheraton Hotel. Co

gratulations to SIM member Mona McManus who did an outstanding job chairing this event from b

ning to end, which is no easy task given the amount of hours and work put into such an event from

seminating applications, coordinating the judging, and bringing the event together at Charter Night

celebration of Womens History Month. Did I mention that this is Monas first year with SIM? Tha

You Mona for your passion and your energy!!! SIM presented $1000 checks to award recipients to
