Soroptimist groups looking for award nominees

Each year Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra and Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe collaborate to honor deserving recipients for two awards in our community.

The Violet Richardson Award honors young women in the community grades 8-11 who are engaged in volunteer deeds to make a difference in the community or beyond such as fighting drugs, crime and violence; cleaning up the environment; or working to end discrimination or poverty. Each Violet Richardson recipient will receive $100.

The Live Your Dream Award is given to women in the community who are the sole supporter of their family, and are overcoming many challenges to further their education and career opportunities in order to make a better life for their children.  Each Live Your Dream recipient receives $2,000.

Nominations for both of these awards are due Dec.1. For more info or an application, go online www.sitahoesierra.org or email Lydia Rogers at lydiajrogers@yahoo.com.
