Carson City Soroptimist to present award, scholarships, recognize Girls of the Month
Carson City Soroptimist will present the Live Your Dream Award, five scholarships, and recognize four Girls of the Month during its January program meeting. The meeting is open to the public, with prior reservations required. It will be Wednesday, Jan. 22, noon to 1 p.m., at Glen Eagles Restaurant.
There is no cost to attend, however a plated lunch with choice of entrees is available for $16. Deadline to respond is Monday, January 20 before noon. Contact the club at sicarsoncity@gmail.com or call 775-297-4890 to reserve a seat and choose an entree.
Soroptimist believes the most effective way to help women and girls overcome barriers is by providing them with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. The Live Your Dream Award is an identifying project for Soroptimist clubs all around the world. It is a cash award to women who, while providing the primary source of financial support for their families, are also pursuing an education. Cynthia Torres is the club's Live Your Dream recipient for 2020.
Five education scholarships will be awarded. Hannah Shaw and Daryl Rush are recipients of scholarships for Nursing students. Sabrina Tomson and Annji Hodoroqicz will receive the club's Trade & Industry scholarships, and Jana Trudell the Sandy Howard Women in Trades. All scholarships are for Western Nevada College degrees and programs.
Four local high school seniors will be recognized as Soroptimist Girls of the Month. This monthly award to a current high school senior honors the recipients for commitment in community service, exemplary volunteerism, and her efforts to enrich the experiences of others in society, at school and at home.
Honorees are Kiana Martinez for September, Flor Aguilar-Ramirez for October, Coral Rosas for November, and Gabriela Avina for December. The club is still accepting applications for the rest of the months of the school year. Contact the counseling office at any of the local high school for more information. One Girl of the Month will receive the Girl of the Year Scholarship in the spring.
Glen Eagles is located at 3700 N Carson St, Carson City. More information about Soroptimist International of Carson City awards and scholarships is available at www.sicarsoncity.org.
