New Temecula Club Service project:
By now, you should have received a special News Blast describing the service project designed to launch the new Temecula Valley club.  I hope you can participate by buying at least one gas gift card token AND attending the free breakfast Thursday (6/6) morning before Spring Conference.  This is a great way for you to show support of the new club members, and make some new friends!

Member Benefits
As we start to wind down this club year, and begin planning for next year, think about some of the benefits of being a member:
 
MISSION:  Members experience joy and a sense of accomplishment by working with other like-minded women on global programs that socially and economically empower women and girls.
 
CONNECTION:  Members grow professionally and personally through their friendships with other club members, connections with women from different cultures and countries, and opportunities for leadership development.
 
ASSISTANCE:   Members receive assistance and resources from SIA headquarters enabling them to enjoy a meaningful club experience knowing they are part of a secure organization invested in the future.
 
SIGNATURE PROGRAMS: Our signature DREAM programs provide us the opportunity to invest in programs that have a sustainable, measurable impact on the lives of women and girls.
