We're excited -- nearly 70 members and counting!
After a successful meeting and donation of $4,050.00 to Matthew House in Monroe, we're excited about our next opportunity to come together and contribute to another South Snohomish County non-profit organization!
Just a reminder that our next meeting is June 11, 7:00 pm at Bob's Burgers and Brews, located at 1611 SE Everett Mall Way, Everett. Bob's has generously offered their meeting space for us free of charge, so if you're inclined to order a burger or a brew, WONDERFUL! We'll be submitting our checks at the beginning of the meeting for our June recipient (to be determined!) and getting to know one another!
And if you'd care to contribute, we're also accepting donations of backpack and school supplies for area students. Because we don't meet again until after school starts for most students, we're getting a head start on it!
We're looking forward to seeing you at our June meeting! And if you haven't yet, please consider becoming a member -- you'll also be able to nominate and vote for our next non-profit recipient in June! You can sign up here under the "Contacts" tab.
And as always, please feel free to share this with your friends!

100+ Women Who Care is a group of women who gather four times a year for a one-hour meeting, learn about local charities, and donate $100.00 to a charity the group selects. This combined donation of a potential $10,000 makes a real impact, without time-consuming fundraising events and planning. Our goal is for our 100+ Women Who Care giving circle to help those in greatest need in South Snohomish County. For as much as we may like to serve, we also recognize time is at a premium for many. By gathering only a few times a year, we're able to make the most of each member's time, and acknowledge that we have other many commitments as well.
Quarterly, the participants of each meeting will submit the name of one organization per $100.00 donation. You may also form teams of two (or more) individuals to make a combined $100.00 donation with a team constituting one vote (e.g., a two person team members would donate $50.00/person, a four person team would donate $25.00/person, etc.). Checks are written directly to the organization receiving your check; you can also make payments to those organizations online if they are set up to receive those. We ask that if you submit your donation outside of our regular meeting night, that you simply drop us a note so we know the payment has been made. We want to make sure members are given credit for their donations! The Organization's nominations will be tallied two weeks prior to our next meeting. These three organizations will then be vetted by Terri Inglis, our Organization Vetting Director. She will provide a letter to each organization requesting information regarding their 503(c)(3) status and how they plan to use the funds. Our steering committee will post the organization's bio/link on our website regarding the three organizations. This will give members an opportunity to research/review the groups that will be voted on one week prior to the next meeting. |
Steering Committee readying for our March kick off meeting and our first donation EVER!
Each meeting will start over with three new nominees. We will donate to an organization only one time in a three year period.
If there happens to be a local disaster in South Snohomish in which residents require aid, and it is agreed to by a majority vote at the current meeting, we can instead choose to assist victims of that disaster rather than choosing an organization from three nominees. We can alter or change this process for one time only during a single year. For example, if a natural disaster incident were to occur in the South Snohomish County area, funds for our next meeting can be diverted to a reliable aid resource, e.g., the Red Cross, Snohomish County Search and Rescue, etc. |
Upcoming Meeting Dates
Our upcoming meetings will be June 11, September 10, and December 10 at 7:00 pm. In addition to each member's $100.00 pledge, optional donations for items shown below will also be accepted. These items will then be donated to area organizations, reaching additional community members in need.
