SIA 41st Biennial Convention

Convention officially opened last night with the Friendship Dinner – always a celebration of the diversity of Soroptimist International of the Americas. The parade of countries featured the 19 countries within SIA, representing North and South America, the Phillipines, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. The presidents of the three other Federations that make up Soroptimist International were also represented, as was SI President Hanne Jennsbo, who hails from Aarhus, Denmark. Her introduction brought a tear to my eyes; I have relatives in Aarhus.

With sincere thanks to Karen, Kay, Gaby and Carma, our display on Breakfast with Santa stands proudly in the Soroptimist Celebrating Success Lounge. It turned out quite eye-catching with its red background and Santa hats. Great work, ladies.
