CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Soroptimist International of Clear Lake will sponsor the annual “Spring Fling” on Saturday, March 1.  

The event will be held at the Clearlake Senior Center, 3245 Bowers Av. in Clearlake.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m. with the event beginning at noon.

Guest speaker is Dr. Kay Taylor, an Oakland Soroptimist member who founded “PINCC” – “Prevention International: No Cervical Cancer” – in 2005.

Dr. Taylor, a gynecologist on a medical mission to Honduras, saw more cases of women dying of cervical cancer in that one trip than in her entire career.  

PINCC is a nonprofit volunteer medical service organization whose mission is to create sustainable programs that prevent cervical cancer by educating and treating women, training medical personnel and equipping facilities in developing countries.

Tickets are $35 per person and include lunch by Chic Le Chef, beverage and the famous Soroptimist dessert bar.  There will be a silent auction, live auction and raffles.

Soroptimist International of Clear Lake meets twice monthly – on the second and fourth Thursdays – at noon at Howard's Grotto in Clearlake. The next meeting is Feb. 27.
