Proceeds from their event are earmarked for the "Maxine Bergstrom Artist in Residence Grants," which expand Glendora Unified School District's student exposure to the arts. This year's event took place at the La Fetra Community Center in Glendora on Saturday, April, 9, 2005. Local service clubs, as well as individuals in community service organizations, were invited to decorate a table. This years' table decoration theme was "My Hero." Table decoration entries must follow the overall general theme of this annual event. The SI Azusa/Glendora tea table decoration entry was designed by Karen Fortus, SI Azusa/Glendora member and employee of the U.S. Forest Service, with the table theme of "My Hero: Smokey Bear." YWCA WINGS Adopt-A-Family Holiday Gift Drive The YWCA WINGS Adopt-A-Family Holiday Gift Drive provides survivors of domestic violence and their children with Christmas gifts. This is a great way for individuals who would like to give to others in need, to provide meaningful, personal gifts to families whose lives have been affected by domestic violence. Every year WINGS has over 100 families that need to be adopted. SI Azusa/Glendora is proud to note that two of our members each adopted a family for Christmas 2004. In turn, both SI members were joined by others, within their respective places of employment, who adopted families for the holiday. Their generosity and selflessness is truly appreciated. EVENTS of 2004/2005 Great Trivia Challenge 13 Yes, it is true! The Soroptimist International of Azusa/Glendora 2005 Team were the champions of Great Trivia Challenge 13! This annual event of the Glendora Public Library Friends Foundation was held Friday, March 11, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. at Azusa Pacific University. Those in attendance enjoyed a fun-filled evening of great food and entertainment, as some 26 teams sponsored by local businesses and service organizations competed against each other answering questions truly trivial and difficult. The three-member SI Azusa/Glendora 2005 Team was proudly represented at this year's event by Ann Chilton, team captain and SI Azusa/Glendora member, and two friends of Soroptimist, Debbie Ream and Richard Janicki. All proceeds from the evening benefit the Glendora Public Library's community education services, including the Adult Literacy and Family Literacy Programs.
