Soroptimist International of Ramona gathered for a wonderful evening at Hatfield Creek Winery, filled with gratitude, recognition, and excitement for the year ahead.
We were honored to have our incredible Desert Coast Region Governor, Bonnie Mendenhall, join us to officially induct our 2026β2027 Board of Directors and celebrate the achievements of our members.
As we welcome new leadership, we also extend our heartfelt thanks to our 2025β2026 Board of Directors for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to improving the lives of women and girls in our community.
Special recognition was given to:

A very special thank you goes to our gracious host and longtime supporter, Elaine Lyttleton, known affectionately to us as "The Queen." After more than a decade of opening her heart and Hatfield Creek Winery to SI Ramona, we were delighted to present her with her very own Soroptimist name badge. π
