1 hour + $100 x 100 women = $10,000! Become a member and help make a big impact This is the power of women joining forces.

We come from all walks of life and financial backgrounds and want to make a meaningful impact in our community. As a group we have the ability to contribute to the growth of our community in ways we never thought possible. Here is the basic concept:
- 100 (+) committed women
- 1 hour meeting 4 times per year
- Each woman brings her cheque book and the name of a local registered charity she would like to assist
- At the meeting three charities are drawn at random and the three women who nominated those three charities each give a five minute presentation on why that charity is the most worthy. They can take 5 minutes for questions.
- Members then cast ballots to decide which charity will get all of the money. Majority will rule
- Each women writes a $100 cheque to the charity (tax receipts issued by the recipient charity to each donor)
- The selected charity could receive up to $10,000 – a significant chance to impact

At the next meeting, a representative from the successful charity will attend and report on the impact of our money. We anticipate that hearing about the impact will be the most inspiring aspects of this group.
