How we work
Our group is made up of a number of volunteer members who are dedicated to making our community a better place. To accomplish this, our members are committed to:
- 4 meetings per year
- To become a member, sign the Commitment Form agreeing to donate $100 per meeting—4 times a year—whether or not you attend the meeting
- Charities are nominated by members
- At each meeting 3 of the nominated charities make a short presentation about their charity
- After the presentations, all members in good standing will vote on a charity by secret ballot
- The charity who receives the most votes receives all of the donations
- Income tax receipts will be issued directly from the charity
If you intend to commit, please fill out our online form or send us an email at 100woolwichwomen@gmail.com.
