SOROPTIMIST CLUBS OUTSIDE MIDWESTERN REGION

Soroptimist International of Joplin Missouri In Action
sijoplin@soroptimist.net

Soroptimist International of Joplin has replied to our inquiry about methods and means by
which we might support their club and women and girls in their city.

SI-Joplin  received over $25,000 in donations from Soroptimist clubs around the country and 
directly addressed  the need to help women and children with those funds, in keeping with our mission. 
We established a "grant" program and women affected by the storm could apply for the funds.
We awarded  the money  in $1,000 increments and were very proud to be able to help 25 Joplin
families." Going forward, because of the myriad of needs, the club plans to apply for a SI club grant.

If Midwestern Region club members wish to help support Joplin's efforts, please contact the club
directly through the above e-mail.

Additionally, the club representative has responded to  the inquiry about the on-going tree planting project
www.atreegrowsinjoplin.org. One may contact this website to learn more about sponsoring dogwood trees.
This project was begun by a 16-year-old young woman in the Joplin community.
