Soroptimist event raises nearly $2K, draws more than 60

On The Town

sorop1 — Mary Morse makes a presentation on human trafficking at the Soroptimist International of Idyllwild’s March 15 event. The evening event raised $1,900 to fight human trafficking. The evening of art, music and information featured Marge Muir (back left) as emcee. Donated art, which local women created, was featured in a silent auction and — along with the admission fee — accounted for the money raised. Local musicians provided entertainment and local businesses donated food and beverages for attendees. The event drew more than 60 attendees. Photos by Annika E.S. Kay
