Welcome to our web site!

Soroptimist International of Willimantic, CT is a volunteer service organization for women in business, management and the professions, who contribute time and financial support to community based projects. Our mission is to improve life for women and girls by identifying needs and working through targeted service projects to address those needs.

Save the Date ~ Our next fundraiser event will be our Heart to Heart Charity Ball on February 6, 2010 at the Willimantic Elks Lodge, Willimantic, CT. This fundraiser will once again benefit programs for women and children including Journey House at Natchaug Hospital. There will be cocktails and Hors d"oeuvres; dancing to the music of Night Moves. Cash bar, silent auction.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our Soroptimist member, Sgt. Amanda Skelly, with the 118th Multifunctional Medical Battalion of Newington, CT. She was deployed on 7/28/09 to Southwest Asia in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. We all wish Amanda a fulfilling commitment in her service to our country. Our best wishes are with her as they are with all of our military men and women. We hope she cherishes all her new experiences and wish her God's speed. Our club has started a box with supplies for her and her fellow country women and will send it off and once we have a mailing address. This will be an ongoing club project. You can see a picture of Amanda's send off here.

Our club is part of Soroptimist International of the Northeastern Region which totals eleven clubs and over 300 members in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and a few provinces in Canada. World wide, membership in Soroptimist International has grown to nearly 100,000 women in about 120 countries and territories.

Our Name, Soroptimist, was coined from the Latin "soro" and "optima" meaning the best for women. Soroptimists are truly women at their best...professional and executive women of all ages, cultures and ethnic groups who are known leaders in their fields.

We are making a difference in our local community and in the world!
