SITM Awards 11 Women’s Scholarships
This year, SITM awarded a total of $38,000 to 11 deserving women whose lives and academic pursuits were interrupted by family responsibilities or other hardships and who have since returned to college.
Ceec Abrahams Award
This award is named for founding member of SITM and celebrated Soroptimist who epitomized the spirit and commitment of volunteering to improve the lives of women and girls. It is presented annually and recognizes an SITM member who has contributed her time and resources to SITM, to Soroptimist as a whole and to the community in the spirit of Ceec Abrahams.
This year we recognized Dot Watts, a member for several years, who goes above and beyond in everything she does. Congratulations Dot!
Thanks to Youth!
SITM honored ten Unsung Heroes and two Youth Scholarship winners at their annual awards luncheon on May 14. These youth were not necessarily student scholars or athletes, but just ordinary students doing extraordinary things in their schools, churches and for families. More
