Soroptimists of the past
Scott Lawson, director of the Plumas County Museum, reports that this photo, titled
"Soroptimists are off," recently came across his desk. He thought readers might enjoy it.
In front is Juanita Austin, then Ethel Baty. Leading the donkey is Myrtle McCoy, at left is
Billie Hoga~ and at right is Gladys Mikesell. Many people may still recognize these ladies
as they were "movers and shakers" in local circles. Photo courtesy Plumas County Museum
