Latest Update!!

Hello 100 Women Who Care About Ventura County! The meeting on October 23 was a lively one and we missed all of you who could not attend.

This time, our group chose to support the "Stop Human Trafficking and Sexual Slavery in Ventura County" project, which is being organized by the five Soroptimist Clubs of Ventura County.
Their project is dedicated to raising the awareness of these crimes that are very present in Ventura County. Their campaign involves providing information in a wide variety of ways throughout the county, aimed at, not only residents and professionals, but for the victims themselves. Their campaign begins in January 2020, which is "Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness" month. Our organization's donations will purchase a billboard near Harbor Boulevard between Oxnard and Ventura, a well-traveled roadway. It will provide the local and national hotline contact numbers and the website where help can be obtained. The main message, "If You See Something, Say Something!" will be printed in Mandarin, Spanish and English, as this reflects the needs of our county. Additionally, on the advice of law enforcement., posters will be displayed at local bus stop rests with the same information at various locations throughout the county for a two-month period. Thank you for your continued support for so many people in our county. Your donations truly do change people's lives!

Please make your checks out to Soroptimist International of Oxnard and send them to Melissa Mabry, P.O. Box 72, Moorpark, CA 93020-0072.

FYI-On March 7th, the Soroptimist Clubs are hosting a conference named, "Stop Human Trafficking and Sexual Slavery" at the Ventura County Museum on Main Street in Ventura. It begins with an Awareness March at 5:00, followed by a speakers' forum and we are all invited to attend. You can find more information on their website.
