Celebrate International Women's Day!

International Women's Day is an occasion marked around the world. March 8 is commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. 

Soroptimist members around the world strive to participate in some type of service activity on the Saturday nearest March 8 to commemorate International Women's Day and give generously of their time and resources. 


This year, Soroptimist International of Fort Collins participated in "Life Options Fair" at the Fort Collins Senior Center. 


Life Options Fair invited service organizations, hobby clubs, creative endeavors, those who provide volunteer opportunities, travel clubs and possibilities, outdoor groups, and other groups in our community to participate with the goal of providing a day long adventure for adults in Fort Collins to discover new life possibilities.


Life Options Fair provided an excellent opportunity for SIFC Members to share:

1.  Soroptimist,

3.  Recent local service projects, including:


* Women Build,
