During 1999 for our church we raised $21, 000.00 for our capitol campaign,
gave $3,500.00 to our pastor for special projects, and gave $500.00 to our
school for playground improvements and $2,500.00 to five young men
studying to become priests. For our community we did a corn beef dinner
for the community and visiting Irish friends. We charged $5.00 for all you
can eat and after costs any extra money is donated to our church. We gave
$3,354.00 to each of the following charities: St. Vincent DePaul, Hope
Hospice, Casa Vincente, Dublin pregnancy Crisis Center and Shepards Gate
for a total of $16,770.00. We did a Tootsie Roll Drive in which we give a
tootsie roll to people entering local stores and if they want we receive a
donation back. We do this for children who are mentally challenged and
raised $1,000.00 for Dublin Kaleidoscope. Also, we do breakfast and
dinners to help other groups raise monies for their projects. We did a
breakfast for our youth group that help them raise $1.000.00 for a national
youth conference held in St. Louis. We did a dinner for them when they
hasted a retreat for the five parishes in the tri-valley area.
Each December, as a thank you, for all the support we receive for our church
and local community we put on a free breakfast and a visit with Santa
Clause. 1999 marked our 13t" anniversary for this event.

D URING 1999:
During 1999 Soroptimist Intemational of Pleasanton/Dublin organized and participated in a variety
of activities benefiting the residents of Dublin.
In the spring, SIP/D organized and recruited over 100 volunteers who participated in the Alamo
Creek clean up. Over 2 tons of debris were removed from the creek and its banks. Interesting finds
included over 40 tires, stop signs, and even a dead cat. Local companies donated Power Bars and water
for the volunteers. This was a gratifying projects - the immediate results were impressive.
Soroptimist members served on the original founding committee of the'St. Patrick's Day
Celebration and SIP/D continues to be actively involved on the annual planning committee. We also work
as volunteers for the Shamrock Fun Run, providing course and traffic monitors.
For the last two years Soroptimists have walked and provided volunteers for. event support at the
American Cancer Society's Relay for Life at Dublin High School. For Dublin's Hope Hospice, SIP/D has
made a commitment to annually provide cookies and hostesses for the Dublin Tree of Lights ceremony.
During the Dublin Pasta Festival Soroptimists also have contributed to the community - working as
volunteers to cashier and serve beverages at the event.
Scholarship opportunities are available for Dublin High School students via the Soroptimist
International Youth Citizenship Award. SIP/D also provided funding for a Dublin student in need of
emergency funds to submit with a college application.
Sanwa Bank was the drop-off site for our very successful Cell Phone Collection Program. Soroptimists
joined with the Livermore-Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) in a Cell Phone Program to provide cell
phones, programmed for 911 use only, to disabled and qualified citizens in Dublin, and the Tri-Valley. Over 500
phones were collected by SIP/D and provided to LAVTA for re-programming and distribution:
