CLEARLAKE >> The community is invited to join the Soroptimist International of Clear Lake at their May 25 lunch meeting for an insightful and thought provoking presentation by Patty Ayala, ASW, a case manager working with substance abusing and incarcerated women. The meeting begins at 11:45 a.m. at Howards Grotto on 14732 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake.
In 2015, Ayala received a Governor’s Pardon.
Pardons reward people who have gone on to live honest and law-abiding lives after completing their criminal sentence. As a formerly incarcerated woman, Patty’s experience and insights allow her to reach incarcerated women, giving them the opportunity to gain the tools they will need to help them find their inherent dignity, self-confidence, and worth.
Currently Ayala works for the Solano County Sherriff’s Office in the Women’s Reentry Achievement Program.
Seating is limited so please call Ami Landrum at 707-350-7419 by Tuesday, May 23 to R.S.V.P. The cost of lunch is $14.
Soroptimist International of Clear Lake is a non-profit organization with a mission to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world. For information on how you can join the local club or support our work, call 707-998-1302.
