On Thanksgiving Eve, the public will have the opportunity to honor outstanding individuals within women’s service organizations that contribute so much, not only to women and girls, but to our entire community. The occasion will be the 59th Annual pre-Thanksgiving Community Breakfast, sponsored by Soroptimist International of La Mesa (SILM). SILM President, Felis Wolven, says the Pre-Thanksgiving Breakfast is held each year on the day before Thanksgiving “to give San Diegans an opportunity to come together and start the holiday season in a spirit of thanksgiving.” As part of the observance, the Soroptimists highlight a segment of the community for which everyone can be thankful. This year, the special thanks will go to women’s organizations that ensure help our entire San Diego community. Laurel Green, the event chair, said that “while we highlight just a few, they are simply representative of hundreds, if not thousands, of community organizations for which we can all be thankful.” In the past we have given “special thanks” has been extended to sanitation workers, educators, firefighters, nurses and those that work with children.
