Soroptimist International of Vacaville
Empowering Women and Girls since 1960
Our History
In 2013, longtime Soroptimist International of Vacaville member Jill Hunter, DDS ( pictured below) decided to take on a big project -- documenting our history! She worked with graphic artist and longtime member Tara Baumann to create a visual History Map of SI/Vacaville. Click on the link to read about Our "HER"STORY to see the results of their work. This publication stretches from 1960 to the 2000's and is updated as needed by our club historian.
