Capitola Soroptimists Help Launch 2021 Santa Cruz Shakespeare Season
During this Santa Cruz Shakespeare (SCS) season, we’re serving as lead ushers, helping patrons find their seats, reminding them to wear their masks while in motion, and asking them to stay socially distanced from other groups. Look for us in our Soroptimist-logoed aprons and visors. If you’d like to volunteer with us, let us know at info@best4women.org. This is our fifth year in partnership with SCS, and our first year to lead the ushering function. The season runs from July 20-August 29 and we’ll be there at all 42 shows.2021/22 Officers Recently Installed
