Eight members of the South Tahoe Middle School Junior S Club and their school adviser received a special certificate last week from Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra.

SITS is the sponsor of the group.

The girls meet each week with the focus to identify ways that they can help and volunteer. They have taken on projects at their school, in the community, across the country, and even globally.

More info about the group is online.
