Fund for Women

A very special thank you to Joe Gfaller and Clear Space Theatre in Rehoboth, for donating 50% of their tickets to tonight’s performance of Mean Girls to the Fund for Women’s endowment to help women and girls in Delaware. Sussex Treasurer Kelly Sheridan was on hand and given two minutes to explain the fund and accept the “big check.” Total donated should be coming in a few weeks and totaling around $3,500!

SEEKING NOMINATIONS FOR THE FIRST FOUNDERS' AWARD
