HIGHLIGHTING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF WOMEN
OUR MISSION: TO IMPROVE THE LIVES
OF WOMEN AND
GIRLS
Soroptimist of Northeast Suburban Franklin County,
a
professional women’s volunteer service organization,
is affiliated with Soroptimist International
of the
Americas, a registered 501(c3) not-for-profit in the
United States. Throughout the year, our members
strive to improve the lives of women and girls in our
local communities of Ohio and throughout the world.
Through
annual projects including sale of pointsettias
and spring flowers, the club raises funds for grants
for women and participate in international projects implemented within the worldwide Soroptimist
programming framework.
Our most recent fundraiser Harvest of Hope
Benefit
for Hope’s Boutique has focused
specifically on outreach to cancer survivors
and timely assistance to women
undergoing
treatment for this disease. The second annual
benefit is scheduled for autumn 2009. We
encourage
the members and community
individuals and businesses to join in our
initiatives throughout the year. Membership
in our organization is open to women interested
in like values
who wish to “pay forward” in the
community through contribution of volunteer hours
and support
to our projects and initiatives.
Additionally, Soroptimist International of NESFC
encourages like efforts of high
school students
through its sponsorship of the Gahanna Lincoln
High School S Club. We applaud these young
women for their service efforts and creativity in
choosing and executing their chosen projects.
Goodsearch.org, an internet search engine
which designates money-per-search to
Soroptimist International, is but only one
way in which
individuals can choose support
club initiatives. One simply searches on
Goodsearch.org and funds are specified
for
Soroptimist. One need not be a member to
participate actively. Should you choose to
donate funds,
time or retail products for such
events as Harvest of Hope or projects such
as Operation Christmas Child, the
membership
will welcome your interest and participation.
Our yearly flower sales are also supported
by individuals
and local businesses. With these
contributions and project sales, NESFC raises
funds to meet the continuing challenges
and
opportunities which 2009 represents.
