Meet Beth Club, one of the newest members of our organization!

Here is why she joined:

"I wanted to join this group because I wanted to give back to girls who may not be as fortunate as my own. As a mom, I know how important support, encouragement, and positive role models can be in a young girl’s life. With my oldest daughter leaving for college, it felt like the right time for me to pour some of that love, energy, and support into helping other girls."

We are so excited to have her as part of our mission to uplift, support, and inspire young girls in our community.

Meet Becky Youngblood Touchette, a valued member of our Soroptimist community.

This is why she joined:
"I joined Soroptimist after having a baby and leaving corporate America. I needed to surround myself with hardworking and caring women and help give my time to something outside of my normal everyday. I knew about Soroptimist, as my aunt was an active member in SW Missouri. It was definitely the right decision!”

Becky embodies what Soroptimist is all about—connection, purpose, and lifting each other up. From building meaningful relationships to making a real impact in the community, members like Becky remind us why this organization is so special.

Meet Holly, our Vice President ✨

Leadership isn’t just about a title—it’s about showing up, lifting others, and leading by example. Holly does that every single day, both in our club and at home.

Here’s why she joined:

“I joined Soroptimist because I believe strongly in empowering women and girls to be the best versions of themselves. I love sharing these experiences with my daughters. Bringing them to our activities allows them to witness the power of service to others and understand the lasting difference giving back can make.”

This is what leadership looks like—creating impact today while inspiring the next generation 💛 Holly Zarkadis Kaelin

✨ Meet Cheri, Our President! ✨
We’re proud to introduce Cheri, the heart and leadership behind our club!

“I joined Soroptimist because it offers women the opportunity to be involved in both the local community and the international community. Soroptimist membership offers a first-hand and personal, hands-on way of addressing the serious issues and concerns of women all over the world. I’m very proud to be a member in St. Louis, and I love spending time with this Club - we work hard, but we always enjoy and appreciate each other in the process.”
