Today at the Soroptimist Intl of Pasco-Kennewick Program meeting, Rebecca Weber, Intl Trade Specialist for the WA State Dept. of Agriculture spoke to the impact of agriculture on Washington's economy and employment. Ag production and processing comprises 12% of our economy! Cool, huh? Do you know which four crops are Washington State's highest producers? Hint: apples, milk, wheat and potatoes. And WA is #1 in the U.S. for our production of mint, raspberries and hops! If you'd been at the meeting, you'd already know this stuff!!
"Hops" to see you at 5th Tuesday on August 31!!

CARS RETURNED WITHOUT INCIDENT
11 Soroptimists and Soroptimisters moved 400 cars for Bill McCurley on Sunday. As part of the Rock and Roll Extravaganza sales event for the McCurley dealership, most of their inventory must be moved from their regular car sales lot to another conspicuous place at the outset of the event. After 5 days and at the end of the event, the cars must be returned to the dealership and that's where we come in: To drive the cars to and from the sales location. Thank you to all who helped on Wednesday and Sunday! Our efforts will be rewarded by McCurley who will make payment to Soroptimist service projects.

Soroptimists Test Drive Cars for a Cause
11 Soroptimists and Soroptimisters from SIPK helped McCurley Chevrolet move nearly 500 cars to position them for a weekend car sales extravaganza. Kathryn and Jennifer are crazy happy about the new Camaro! Our deeds will rake in some bucks to support SIPK projects to bring happiness and a better life for women and girls.
