February 20205

Welcome to another year of supporting local charities!

We hope that you and your families are well. We are happy to say that we

are starting into our 8th year of supporting local charities.

Thank you to members, new and old, for your continued support of

100WWCC. Through your generosity, we have raised over $180,000 for

charities serving the Caledon community. We are projected to hit the

$200,000 mark by the end of the year. Together, we can make a powerful

impact!

2025 Meeting Dates and Venues

We are pleased to announce the continued support of the Caledon Ski

Club. The Ski Club has been a venue sponsor since we started our group

in 2017. We are also glad to be welcomed back to St. James Anglican

Church in Caledon East which is made possible by the support of member

Elizabeth Morton.

New for 2025, we will be meeting at the Alton Public Library in February.

This venue is being rented with support from member Debra Wilson.

Thank you to members that have made the venue rentals possible. As

always, our venue partners are integral to our success, and we are grateful

for their support.

Our May meeting location has not been confirmed yet. We plan to hold the

meeting on the east side of Caledon. Our goal is to hold our meetings all

over Caledon to make the commute fair for all our members.
