Soroptimist St. Patrick's Day Extravaganza Canceled With an abundance of caution and respect for the health of our island community, Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor has canceled our St Patrick's Day Extravaganza annual fundraising event scheduled for Saturday, March 14th. We have come to this difficult decision in light of the San Juan County Public Health Department's recommendation that gatherings of 10 or more people should be avoided. We appreciate your ongoing support and are hoping to reschedule a comparable event in the future. Ticket holders for the event and the generous live and silent auction donors will be contacted by a Soroptimist this week. If you have any questions please reach out to us at sifridayharbor@soroptimist.net.
