Soroptimist WineMakers

Dinner & Auction

SATURDAY, MAY 20, 2023 - 6 TO 9 PM

Soroptimist International of Vallejo, (SIOV) is proud to announce that 2023 marks our 84th year of service to the Vallejo community, where dreams come true. The mission of the SIOV club is to give women and girls the opportunity to reach their full potential and live their dreams… no matter what their past includes or their financial restrictions may be. In order to support this mission, Soroptimist International of Vallejo invites you to join us as a sponsor and an attendee as we host our signature Winemakers Dinner “A Night Under the Stars in Vallejo - Where Dreams Come True” on Saturday, May 20, 2023 from 6 pm - 9 pm.

We are excited to feature an elegant five-course dinner paired with selected wines from Sentivo Vineyards & Winery, owned and operated by Helen Pierson and family, local business owners of Medic Ambulance Service.

Dinner tickets are $120 per person and are limited to 150 tickets.

RSVP is required. It’s guaranteed to be an amazing evening with wonderful food, wine and company, all while raising money for a lifechanging cause.

For the past two pandemic years, our club has hosted our Wine Makers Dinner virtually. If not for our generous donors who support our mission, we could not have distributed over $80,000 in awards to women and girls in our community over those past two years. Our goal this year is to surpass the last two years, and raise over $80,000 to be given back in scholarships and awards in the coming year. With your help, we can make it happen! Because “Under the Stars in Vallejo, Dreams Come True.”

Masked Male with Gun arrested by VPD

On April 15, 2023, the Vallejo Police Department received a call from a victim stating a neighbor on the 100 block of Ladera Dr. was wearing a gas mask and pointed a firearm at him. The male pulled the trigger while pointing the firearm at the victim, but the firearm did not fire.

Officers arrived and quickly confronted the male wearing the gas mask in front of his house. Our officers repeatedly pleaded with the male to surrender and comply with their demands, but he refused.

Once it was clear that the individual would not comply with our officers' demands, our officers decided to go hands-on with the male. When the male was preoccupied yelling at officers, another officer tackled him from behind. It took five officers to overcome the male's resistance and remove the loaded firearm from his possession.

VPD officers arrested the male, who was subsequently booked into the local jail.

This was an extremely dangerous call for service which could have resulted in a loss of life for the victim, the male, and our officers. Thankfully the firearm jammed and nobody was seriously injured during this call for service.

Thank you to our few dedicated officers who constantly put their lives on the line to protect those in need and help make Vallejo a safer place to work and live!
