(Chelsea Update would like to thank Nicole Bell for the information in this story.)
100 Women Who Care – Chelsea Area is expected to raise an estimated $10,000 for a selected nonprofit at its next Impact Award meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
The meeting will be in-person at 305 S. Main Street, Chelsea State Bank’s Downtown Chelsea Location. There will also be an option to participate virtually, over Zoom. The Impact Award meeting is preceded by a social hour starting at 6 pm with beverages and light snacks.
At 7 pm the 1-hour meeting begins during which three member-nominated charities will pitch their cause. The one that obtains the majority of member votes receives the Impact Award generated by each member’s $100 donation.
The three selected charities were announced on the Giving Circle’s website (www.100wwcchelsea.org) and included Barn Sanctuary, Purple Rose Theatre, and Dexter Senior Center. Each nonprofit will have a designated amount of time to give their pitch to the membership before the voting begins.
