Members of Soroptimist International Oceanside-Carlsbad
participated in "Women Build" for Habitat for Humanity. The project is an 11-unit condo development in north Carlsbad. SIO-C sponsored the build for $5,000, and contributed a day's labor on the project. Members helped to cut and place rebar for the foundation.
