(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — An evening of connection and purpose could lead to something even bigger.
That’s the spirit behind “Together We Grow,” an open house hosted by Soroptimist International of Simi Valley. The free event takes place Thursday, May 22, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Tierra Rejada Golf Course’s clubhouse in Moorpark. According to the organization’s website, it’s a relaxed dinner gathering where guests can meet members, hear stories, and learn how Soroptimists work to support women and girls through education and mentorship.
“Our goal is to help women and girls become financially independent through education. We also have a very strong sisterhood,” said Amy Corneau, the club’s Director of Membership and Immediate Past President.
Soroptimist International of Simi Valley, founded in 2015, is part of a global volunteer movement with one mission: educate, empower, and enable. The organization helps women and girls gain access to the education and training they need to achieve economic independence. Through local and international programs like the Live Your Dream Awards and Dream It, Be It, Soroptimists provide more than encouragement—they offer tools, guidance, and support to help women overcome obstacles and move forward.
The club’s work includes the Live Your Dream Awards, which offer financial aid to women who are the primary earners in their households, helping them continue their education and secure better jobs. The Dream It, Be It program brings career support and confidence-building to girls in secondary school through mentoring sessions and hands-on activities.
Over the years, the club has organized events like the Little Black Dress fundraiser, which blends social gathering with mission-driven giving. They’ve also presented the Apathy Effect Exhibit to raise awareness about human trafficking and hosted Walk for Women to celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.
Those who attend the open house will get a closer look at that mission in motion—along with food, conversation, and a raffle for a free membership. Guests who bring a friend will receive an extra raffle ticket.

Because sometimes, showing up for dinner is the first step toward showing up for something bigger.
