An informational meeting was hosted by a steering committee of women at Battlefords at Empress Furniture & Decor Sept. 15.
The group of 68 women who attended, and now have formed the core Battlefords chapter of 100 Women Who Care, were excited about this new style of charitable giving.
This chapter of 100WhoCareAlliance.org will be blazing a trail of empowering local women to make an immediate impact on charitable organizations in our community and the surrounding area.
The group will be meeting four times a year. Charities will be nominated and invited to present their cases at one of the meetings. Members will vote at every meeting, to give a donation of $100 from each member to the winning presenting charity. The group's goal is to have at least 100 women join the Battlefords chapter, so that presenting charities may receive at least $10,000 upon winning the confidence of the membership.

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 13, once again at Empress Furniture & Decor at 7 p.m.
