Pampered Chef Parties Raise Funds for SIFC
SIFC hosted two Pampered Chef parties this fall--sharing yummy food, healthy recipes and handy cooking ideas. Thanks to Jen Saibel, local Pampered Chef consultant, for 2 fun parties! Thanks to friends & associates for purchases resulting in approximately $300 (15% of party sales) to help SI Fort Collins support women and girls in our community and throughout the world.

Soroptimist International of Fort Collins strives to provide local and global service donations (including Live Your Dream--educational grants) without nickel and diming our members. We DO NOT expect our members to "simply" write checks to support women and girls. We share information regarding product availability with our friends and associates. Thank you for supporting Soroptimist fundraisers
when and where appropriate.
