"S" Club Members Plan Trip to Japan
Joyce Suihkonen, S Club Committee Chair

What is an "S" Club? "S" Club is a Soroptimist-sponsored organization that gives junior high and high school students an opportunity to provide service to their schools and communities, develop leadership, promote good citizenship, and advance goodwill and understanding.

The Committee presented three $300 Barbara Stevenson awards at this year's regional conference. This award is presented annually to outstanding "S" Club seniors in Founder Region.

Many hours have been spent setting criteria, arranging for funding, and selecting participants to attend the Japan Minami Region Youth Forum. Two "S" Club students from Honolulu and one from Brentwood will join the 50+ additional attendees at the Forum in August.

This year Soroptimist International of Pittsburg resurrected their "S" Club at Pittsburg High School. And, a fourth "S" Club was chartered in Guam at George Washington High School. There are now 11 active "S" Clubs in Founder Region.

Regional "S" Club Committee m embers are Joyce Suihkonen, Chair; Janice White; Vivian Tsuji; Sharle Hoke
