100+ Women Who Care: Comet Chapter recently made a $9200 donation towards the New Strand Theatre via the West Liberty Area Arts Council.
This group, while part of a national organization structure, is made up of local women of all ages who want to make a positive impact in the communities within our school district, with one thought in mind – TOGETHER WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
It is a SIMPLE Concept with a BIG Impact!!
SIMPLE Concept - No membership dues, four meetings a year. Members can nominate a LOCAL 501c3 non-profit by slip of paper.
Three nominations are randomly drawn. A brief “sales pitch” is given for each. A paper vote for one of the three is taken. Majority wins.
Members write a $100 check to the chosen non-profit for which you receive a receipt for tax purposes.
If you can’t attend, send your check to a named board member. ($100 every quarter - which is $33 a month or a little over $1 a day) All money is given as one large donation.
A large donation at one time can help start or finish a project, make a purchase, etc. That is - THE POWER OF GIVING AS ONE!
BIG Impact - After the Feb giving event, which marked the end of the ninth year, $257,800 has been provided to various local 501c3 non-profits. (Friends of the Library, The Fine Arts Program, Dreamcatchers, The Food Pantry, Before and After School program, Atalissa Fire Dept to name a few.)
Look for and “Like” the Facebook page - 100+ Women Who Care: Comet Chapter for meeting notices.
If interested, just show up. Your contact information will be collected that night, and you can be part of this committed group of women. The next giving event will be sometime in May.
