Amanda Update 7/27/10: Amanda has returned safely home
after a year of service to our country! Everyone in our club thanks
Amanda for serving our country so proudly.
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 and Vermont. 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!
