It’s the Soroptimist International of Sonoma Valley’s Maine event – the group’s annual fundraising lobster sale. Members are now taking orders pick-up at the Atrium Building, 670 W. Napa Street in Sonoma, on Saturday, August 25 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
The crustaceans will be flown in from Maine that morning. Lobsters weigh about 1.5 pounds, cost $26 each and can be ordered live or cooked. Advance orders are necessary and must be received by August 23.
The Soroptimists have a 50-plus-year history of giving back to the Sonoma Valley community while improving the lives of women and girls. “This is a terrific reason to invite your friends over for a delicious lobster meal and directly impact the lives of women and girls in our community,” said co-chair Juliette Andrews.
To order, call her at 707.338.1874 or Maide Herbert at 707.337.7673.
