Trenton & Downriver Area Soroptimists' Mixer

Trenton and Downriver Area Soroptimists invite everyone to their "music-in-the-park" event on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at the Grecian Center Pavilion, 16300 Dix-Toledo Road, in Southgate. From 5:30-8:30 P.M., the duo "Just 2 Guitars" will be entertaining visitors. A concession stand, vendor fair, and cash bar will be there, for a $5 donation to enter.

Soroptimist is an international organization of almost 1,500 clubs in nineteen countries for and by dedicated women who use their collective resources to help other women and girls transform their physical, mental, and emotional lives and the lives of their families. Their focus, as the name Soroptimist means “best for women,” is on empowering and protecting women and girls.

More than forty women comprise the club that involves the downriver communities of Allen Park, Brownstown, Ecorse, Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, Southgate, Riverview, River Rouge, Taylor, Trenton, Woodhaven, and Wyandotte. The women of SI of Trenton and Downriver Area have previously raised over $200,000 in scholarship awards, to promote human trafficking awareness and prevention, domestic violence shelters, women’s health issues, and other service projects. This local volunteer group offers service by way of fundraising and donations, public awareness and educational programs, and hands-on assistance. The Trenton and Downriver Area Soroptimists give their time and talents to local food pantries, Vista Maria, First Step, Stanford House, Covenant House, Christ Net, Salvation Army, Hope Against Trafficking, Transition123, Sparrow Freedom Project, Corewell Southshore, and to area women’s health institutions. Soroptimists are dedicated to improving the physical, mental, and emotional health and lives of all females. Their focus, as the name Soroptimist means “best for women,” is on empowering and protecting women and girls.
