What is a Personal Project?

SI Oceanside-Carlsbad members are required to do a Personal Project that nets at least $50 for the club's treasury.

Members can do this on their own, or work together. (Two members working together must do a project that nets at least $100.) Working together usually is more fun, and most members exceed their financial goal.

Examples of personal projects done by SI Oceanside-Carlsbad members have been:

• making and selling craft items
• hosting "high tea," where attendees pay admission and wear hats and gloves
• a live performance of opera selections (by a very talented Soroptimist and her equally talented family)
• a Wii bowling tournament (using the fun Ninentendo Wii video game system)
• teaching a crafts class
• sailing on a member's boat
• taking a group to Temecula for a wine tour
• "girls' weekend" at a member's vacation home
• a giant "home party" featuring the products of several companies that sell via home parties
• a discussion of world peace with a prominent speaker
• a huge book, CD and DVD sale in a member's garage
