How is the organization that receives our donations chosen?
Any member who has signed the commitment form may sponsor an organization by filling out a submission form with organization name and contact information and placing it in the box. Three forms are randomly selected from the box to present at the next meeting. We encourage members to submit names of organizations that are important to them.
What if I cannot attend a meeting?
1) You can send in a blank, signed check written out for $100 with 100(+) WWC on the memo line with a trusted friend to the meeting. The friend will write in the name of the charity that is chosen on the check and give it to the organizers on her behalf. The friend may vote on behalf of the absent member.
OR
2) You will receive an email from one of the committee members directing you to make out your check to the winning organization and the name and address of where to send your check.
Can I just send the donation to the charity myself?
The goal of the 100(+) Women Who Care organization is to make a large donation on behalf of the whole group. We want to be able to support this endeavor and give $10,000+ dollars at a time to make a large impact in our community, with each member's donation being part of the larger donation.
How long do the meetings last?
Meetings generally last from 45 minutes to no longer than 60 minutes. Many members come to the meeting early to spend time socializing and getting to know others. Some members stay after the meeting to enjoy dinner!
Can I bring a friend to the meeting?
Of course you can! However, if she wants to vote she needs to sign a Commitment Form and become a member before she can vote..
