HOOD RIVER — The Hood River Soroptimist club is selling colorful flower baskets to raise money for scholarships that help local women continue their education at college or vocational programs.

“Education is the key to improving the lives of women and girls in our community,” said Julie Belmore, President of the Hood River Soroptimists. “We’re grateful for the community’s support of our annual flower sale, which is our main fundraiser for these important scholarships.”
