I am pleased and thrilled to inform you that our SIPR nominee for the Ruby Award has been selected as one of three finalists in the SIA Federation.

For the first time, voting for the SIA winner will be done ONLINE. Please log on to the SIA website: www.soroptimist.org and cast your vote for our very own DR ELVIRA HENARES ESGUERRA, nominated by SI Lucena of Southern Luzon district.

All Soroptimists and non-Soroptimist as well may vote for their choice.

As we have voted for Efren Peñaflorida as the CNN Hero – let us do the same for our Ruby awardee.

This is a great honor for SIPR.

Congratulations to SI Lucena and Ruby Chairperson, Lorna Silverio for their excellent choice.
