On April 16, thirty-five Oakland grade school girls attended our annual Steps to Success event, a fun and inspiring career day for low-income elementary school girls. Also known as the Shoe Project, this is our club’s signature event. Here are some of the girls with their new pair of very popular Vans shoes to remind them to continue their steps to success.

At our 100th Anniversary event, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, US House of Representatives, honored us with this certificate in recognition of 100 years of service to the East Bay Community.

​Our 100th Anniversary Celebration on October 3, 2021 was great fun. Decked out in 1920s attire, nearly 100 Soroptimists and friends from many clubs and several countries came together to celebrate. It was a beautiful day to be remembered. Thanks to all speakers, attendees, donors, and hard working committee members!
