A very successful first ArtFest was held on December 8, 2017 at Sierra 2 ... fun evening with fabulous art, hands-on art projects and refreshments.
SI Metro Sacramento was privileged to have Mayor Steinberg address the club and discuss issues of importance to the City of Sacramento. He was engaging, informative and entertained our numerous questions. We're fortunate to have SIMS club members with connections to our community leaders.
What a fun night! We had over 25 members, former members and prospective members in attendance. We even got a visit from our newest Soroptimister Ari and his mom, Abby! Thanks to all who attended and especially to the committee that put in all the work. A special thanks to Jeannie (and Soroptimister Dave) for hosting this lovely and tasty evening.
SIMS members joined volunteers from across the Sacramento community for a celebration of reading on Read Across America Day, March 3, 2017. We all turned out at our favorite school, Ethel Phillips Elementary, to have fun with classes and celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday.
Hot coffee and a feast of art awaited SIMS at our early morning visit to ArtStreet. This temporary, multidisciplinary art experience is located in the old warehouse district of Sacramento south of Broadway. For just one month, over 100 artists filled exhibit spaces with politics, beauty, participatory murals, music and sound, from floor to ceiling, inside and out. ArtStreet is a project of M5 Arts.
How many poinsettias does it take to send kids to camp? A lot! SIMS is helping Ethel Phillips students and parents raise money to make sure every sixth grade student has an opportunity to attend Sly Park Science Camp this year. The school is hosting the flower sale and also has cartons of chocolate bars to boot. Flowers are $10 and chocolate bars are $1.
