2008 SOROPTIMIST CELEBRATING
SUCCESS!
First Place, SI Eastwood City
The Story of SI Albay Magayon
Category: Member Recruiting
SI Eastwood City received
the First Place Award from SIA President Machiko Yamada
for its entry, “The Story of SI Albay Magayon”,
at the 40th Biennial Convention held at the Taipei
International Convention Center on July 18, 2008.
SIEC President Andrea E. Lim accepted the award on
behalf of the Club.
The story recounts the journey of SIEC
in chartering what is now known as SI Albay Magayon
(literally, Albay Beautiful) – a vibrant new
“baby” club.
Adhering closely to the “Ten
Steps to Chartering”, SIEC described how they
found a wealth of experienced women in Albay while
they were shoulder-to-shoulder in deep mud building
houses for survivors of Typhoon Reming.
This is SIEC’s fifth First Place Award in Soroptimist
Celebrating Success since its chartering on March
9, 2002.
