January 2021 Newsletter

Happy New Year to all of our members!  We are looking forward to another year of supporting charities that have a direct impact in our community. 

Our Goal Has Been Reached!

We are so pleased to announce that our group has raised $100,000 for our community as of the end of 2020!  We have been giving together since 2017 and have supported a total of 14 different local charities. Thank you for your continued support as a member of 100WWCC. By giving together, we can have a larger impact on groups that serve members of our community. 

We look forward to continuing our group effort to support such important charities in the future. 

New Members

We would like to take a moment to not only thank our new members for becoming one of 100WWCC, but also to thank our existing members for their continued support. Thank you to all!

Welcome to Bonnie McDonald, Nora Martin, Jane Chapman, Sarah Adeniran, Leslie Caldwell-Clarke, Deborah Gilchrist and Janet Wilczynski.

Administrative Cost Sponsor

Thank you to 100WWCC member Sarah Haney for her support of our administrative costs for 2021.  We have been looking for a possible corporate sponsor for our group to alleviate the costs of running our group. Annually, it costs between $400 and $500 for our website, email, domain name and promotion of our group through social media. The start-up costs and ongoing expenses have been paid by our executive over the last three years. So, a big “Thank You” to Sarah!  We appreciate your support for 2021.
