Our first membership drive closed on February 28 with a flurry of last-minute members joining us. When the final tallies were counted, we closed out our membership drive with a staggering 217 members! I am overwhelmed by this number. Initially our membership goal was 100! Then, we pushed to 200, thinking that was a lofty goal. Not only did we reach this, we EXCEEDED it! This will enable us to award TWO $100,000 grants and THREE $6,000 grants, making an immense difference to our local nonprofits and community. And each and every one of you is part of making this difference.
Thank you to all of our applicants, finalists and volunteers. Read their submissions at the links above. Hear their pitch and vote on which two nonprofits will receive $100,000 grants on October 5 (RSVP required).
