The Soroptimist International of Price Annual Charity Benefit will take place on Friday, November 18 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Carbon Country Club. The donation cost is $35.00 per person which includes a four course dinner. Tickets are available from any Soroptimist Member, Fitness World and Carbon Country Club.

Soroptimist Chair, Terry Willis spoke about the organization, “Soroptimist was founded 62 years ago by Helen Oliveto (All-a-vet-toe) Smith. The mission of the Soroptimist is to better the lives of women and girls through our community and throughout the world. This service organization has been going on – like I said for 62 years, which is amazing in today’s world, where most service organizations are dying out, our club is going strong, we have about 25 members right now.”

Attendees must be 21 years of age to attend this event. “There will be adult beverages that you can sample. It also comes with a wonderful four course dinner; we serve that from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. It will be different than just your standard buffet, it will be a dinner to just savor,” said Willis.

All the proceeds from the annual event stay in the community and fund projects that benefit women and girls. Willis added, “Any organization that feels that they have a project that does benefits women and girls or women or girls can get a hold of me, Terry Willis at 650-1209, let us know what that project is and we will look to see if we can help.” Projects that Soroptimist has helped in the past have been The Women’s Shelter, The East Carbon Clinic, Eastern Utah Women’s Health Clinic, as well as a few grants to assist low income, head of household women to continue their education to better the lives of their families.

If you would like to be a part of the Soroptimist International they hold their monthly meeting on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm at the Carbon Country Club. “We invite you to come and sit in on a couple of our meetings and fully understand what Soroptimist is about. There are dues required and we would discuss that if you were interested. But for the most part you can sit in on those meetings without an additional cost and just come and enjoy a good meal, listen to what projects we do and how we operate as an organization and then decide if you want to be one of us,” stated Willis.
