Soroptomists honor, uplift community women
PENN TWP — Women were celebrated, awarded and uplifted for their challenges overcome and educational pursuits at the Soroptimist International of Butler County’s Spring Fling on Saturday.
The Butler Country Club was filled with laughter and applause as members of the organization presented the Live Your Dream scholarships to women furthering their education. In addition, the Soroptomists bestowed their Community Ruby Award on Audray Muscatello-Yost for her many contributions to organizations in Butler County.
Soroptimist, which translates to “the best for women,” is an organization that seeks to empower women and girls and enrich their lives through education, according to Marianne Hill, Spring Fling co-chairwoman.
“The Live Your Dream awards are what this event is for. Today we’re honoring women who have overcome addiction, abuse and homelessness,” she said. “The money (these women) receive can go toward anything that will help continue their education, whether it’s childcare, gas, transportation or books.”
