Soroptimist Ruby Award - Darlis Bachusky

 

Around the world, many women are working to improve the lives of women and girls. Some women work to improve conditions for women and girls through their personal or volunteer efforts; others do so through professional avenues. The Soroptimist Ruby Award, formerly the Soroptimist Making a Difference for Women Award, is designed to honor these women. A Ruby is also a gemstone associated with wisdom, importance, vitality, strength, power and love: All words embodying the award recipients.

 

This award honors women who are making extraordinary differences in the lives of other women. Examples would be a woman who helps to establish a domestic violence shelter, a woman who starts a mentoring program for at-risk girls, or a woman who lobbies her company to provide on-site child care.  A Ruby Award recipient should be a woman who:

                        has worked to improve the lives of women and girls,

                        has had a significant impact on the lives of women and girls,

                        would inspire and encourage other women.

 

Soroptimist International of Central Alberta is very pleased to announce that our Ruby award is being granted this year to Darlis Bachusky. This wonderful inspiring lady is being honored for her work helping women escape domestic violence and many other volunteer activities. Join us, Soroptimist International of Central Alberta, on March 8, 2012 where we will present Darlis with her award.  More details to follow in 2012 on our International Women's Day luncheon.
