Richmond groups get charitable boost

Since its founding in 1921 in Oakland, Soroptimist International has grown into the largest organization for business and professional women in the world, with more than 3,000 chapters.

The Richmond chapter was chartered in March 1939, and ever since, the local group has raised money that it gives annually to community causes. That tradition continued at a Jan. 11 luncheon at historic Rockefeller Lodge in San Pablo, when the Richmond Soroptimists awarded $45,000 to local organizations that provide services and programs to the community."
