About Us
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that has."~ Margaret Mead This famous quote perfectly describes the SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL OF CAMELBACK, INC. (SIC ) in mid town Phoenix, Arizona. SIC SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY demonstrates that we are successful women who care about others and must give back! We make a difference to the lives of families, women and children in need by raising funds for local Valley of the Sun charities. From hands on, community service projects like rape-care kits, house painting or garage sales to the prestigious annual Fashion Show and Auction, every member has a structured way to donate priceless time and hard earned money to those in our community who need a helping hand. CONNECTIONS with other successful women from diverse backgrounds and industries is a critical communication link for professional women today. SIC encourages a strong business network with women throughout the Valley. An average of 30 active SIC members meet together at least twice each month providing an opportunity to form lasting personal and professional relationships. All work with no play is not our motto. Along with the fundraising activities, occasional social gatherings are planned or a few folks may meet after work for a relaxed cocktail hour and free flowing conversations! The Soroptimist Regional conferences or International Federation conventions are also great opportunities to meet other interesting Soroptimist women from around the world. CLUB MEETINGS The Camelback Club meets three Wednesdays a month, from September through May, from 7am-8am at the University Club (across from the Heard Museum) in downtown Phoenix. The one-hour meeting includes a delicious hot breakfast while we discuss club commitments at our business meetings or while we are presented programs by members of the community, business and political leaders on a wide variety of topics at our program meetings. We strive to ensure that our members are well-educated on issues of local, regional, national or international importance. SUPPORTING A GLOBAL ORGANZIATION that has impact on the lives of families, women and girls around the world is characteristic of highly credible and successful women today. SIC is one of 1,500 Soroptimist service clubs worldwide. SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL has used its international voice through the United Nations for more than 50 years. As the world becomes more and more connected, it is imperative that philanthropic women unite together in one strong voice in order to influence the social and political ways the world is impacting others. It is the synergy of a global group like SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL that will help make extraordinary and positive changes in our world in the future. |
