The June Business meeting was full of information and excitement! President Monica Williams awarded Marsha Goebel the honor of Soroptimist of the Year, a much deserved honor. President Elect Freda Powell shared tales from the South Central Region Conference and presented Denise Stephenson (Publicity & Technology Chair) with a certificate recognizing the club’s completion of the SCR Public Awareness Olympics. Then each Committee Chair gave a year-end report. SI Amarillo has been BUSY this year, and is excited to start our new club year in July.
