MARYSVILLE – The Soroptimist International of Marysville’s recent Denim & Diamonds Auction raised just over $60,000.

“Without our community of generous donors and members we wouldn’t be able to promote the Soroptimist mission – to improve the lives of women and girls through programs and education that leads to empowerment and the ability to love their dreams,” Soroptimist member Kathie Roon said.
