100+ Women Who Care of Yarmouth County was founded to facilitate the strength of the women in our community. Individually we can do great things, but the power of a group of women that are passionate about the community we live in cannot be measured. We are hoping to harness some of that spirit by gathering on a quarterly basis and choosing a worthy charitable organization to benefit from our dona
tions. Each woman who becomes a member is asked to commit to 4 meetings that are each no more than 1 hour in length for one year. They also commit to donating $100 per meeting ($400 per annum) and taking part in the quarterly voting process. This amount, multiplied by the number of members, will add up to a sizeable donation for the charity! Your voice will be of utmost importance. Each member is entitled to nominate their favorite charity each quarter. 3 charities are randomly drawn out of a hat and these charities must make a 5 minute presentation at the quarterly meeting to tell their members about their organization and how the money will be spent. The members then vote on the 3 charities and the winner is rewarded that very night. All members will receive a charitable donation receipt for their full $100 as absolutely none of the money supplied by members is used for administrative purposes. All charities receiving a donation are not eligible for another nomination for a 3 year period - allowing 12 organizations to benefit over the 3 year period. So please, spread the word to all of the passionate and kind-hearted women of this community. We look forward to gathering together to touch the lives of our fellow Yarmouthians.
