NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, May 20, 2020
Due to the shelter in place orders, we are cancelling our May meeting for Women Who Care. However, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade right?!? The Steering Committee has been discussing options for this missed meeting and we have decided to “enhance” our giving efforts!! We are setting up an account at the Branch County Community Foundation to be used for future “small donation requests”. Many times we have been asked if a charity can ask for less than the big checks (approximately $13,000 now)…because their needs are much smaller. With this new fund we will be able to entertain and vote for the use of these funds as needed. Any request that is $1,000 or less will be brought to the regular meetings with a short description of what the money will be used for, and we will vote by separate ballot to approve or deny the request. We promise to make this a quick and easy process and we hope that we can positively impact even MORE people this way!!! If you are in favor of this fund, and choose to fund it, in lieu of our regular May meeting, please send a $100 check made payable to: Branch County Community Foundation for the benefit of WWC of BC. (BCCF fbo WWC of BC) Checks should be sent to Marie Wilber at Nichols Accounting, 50 Division St, Coldwater, MI 49036. If you are unable to contribute this quarter, no worries! We will periodically ask for contributions to fund this account as time goes on. It is completely voluntary; as are all of our WWC donations!!! This optional gift is also tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt from BCCF!
Thank you, as always, for your support of our community with your generous monetary gifts!!
-Diana Butler on behalf of the WWC Steering Committee
