On Friday, June 16th, Soroptimist International of Ukiah held their annual installation of new club officers during a dinner at the Thompson Family home in Redwood Valley and catered by Zack's Catering. The ceremony also included the presentation of the Past President's Pin, Attendance Awards and Soroptimist of the Year.
As Installing Officer, Jessica Kimball began the ceremony by introducing the theme for the coming year as selected by the incoming President, Katie Kight; "Soroptimists Shine... Brightening Our Club, Community and World!" Katie's son Brandon took these words and visually brought them to life by creating an image that was displayed throughout the event in a fun, yet meaningful way. It was through the
inspiration of this image that Jessica captured the essence of Katie's theme and shared an inspiring message throughout the installation ceremony as she presented each new officer with a colorful candy pinwheel representing Katie's colors. Jessica impressed upon the new officers their responsibilities and the importance of their work.

"As we blend our skills and talents to make a difference for women and children locally and internationally, we can also look forward to having fun and developing
lifelong friendships."
The club's current President, Tami Glasco passed on the club's Founder Region Fellowship pin and President's pin to Katie. Anne Holden then presented Tami with her Past President's Pin and a beautifully engraved award.
