Two SDSVP Ladies Are 2009 “Women Of Distinction”

The Salvation Army awards 15 fabulous ladies each year who make a difference in San Diego. We are very proud to announce that two of our Partners have been honored this prestigious “Women of Distinction” award for 2009. Congraluations to Louarn Sorkin and Jan Tuttleman!

We already knew we were lucky to have these incredible women as part of our group, now the entire community will be able to toast their extraordinary accomplishments. Help us celebrate and honor them on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 for the awards ceremony.

The woman of SDSVP would love to put together tables of ten ladies each to cheer Louarn and Jan. If you would like to be part of this event, please contact Peggy Kidd at peggy@sdsvp.org. The tickets are $85. Let’s get a real cheering squad for these two ladies!

Besides her multiple roles with SDSVP, including being known as the woman who keeps the “Social” in Social Venture Partners, Louarn has chaired the Mardi Gras fundraiser for the La Jolla Opera Guild, and is active with the American Cancer Society, the Boys and Girls Clubs, and the San Diego Grant Makers. She is a founder of Just In Time, a group that aids youth leaving foster care.

Jan was the founder and first chair of the Jewish Women’s Foundation, and has worked with many foundations, and with Voices For Children. Jan is a recipient of the Anne Ratner Award for Community Leadership.
