Soroptimist International of Suburban Chicago 

(S I S C)

We were chartered in October 1989.   Our club began as DuPage County, merged with the North Suburban Club and then later renamed the Club to Soroptimist International of Suburban Chicago. 

  We support programs on an international and regional level, plus we establish and fund our local community-based programs/projects to benefit local women and girls.
