Meeting Postponed: New Date – February 26
Due to **inclement weather and cold temperatures**, our first meeting of 2025 has been **rescheduled** for Wednesday, February 26, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. We will still meet at Our Place Events and Travel LLC, located at 124 S Pikes Peak Ave, Florence. This event is generously sponsored by Marina Hildebrand and Misty DeSalvo. Join us as we reconnect, celebrate our impact, and continue supporting local nonprofits. **New members are always welcome—bring a friend!**
About the Meeting Agenda
- Check-In and Networking
Arrive a few minutes early to check in, collect nomination and voting slips, and connect with other women passionate about philanthropy. New members and guests are encouraged to introduce themselves and learn more about our mission. - Recipient Update from the Senior Center
At our last meeting, we contributed to the **Senior Center**, and we are excited to hear how our collective support has made a difference in their programs for local seniors. - Nonprofit Nominations and Presentations
Members will nominate local nonprofits, and three organizations will be randomly selected to present their mission and needs. Each nonprofit will have the opportunity to share their impact and explain how support from Fremont Women Who Care could help their work. - Voting and Selection
After the presentations, members will cast their votes for the nonprofit that should receive this quarter’s collective donation. The selected organization will receive funding to support vital programs in Fremont County.
Meeting Policies for Efficiency and Fairness
The Steering Committee has introduced a few updates to ensure smooth, fair, and organized meetings:
- Streamlined Check-In Process
Nomination and voting slips will be distributed upon check-in to allow for a smooth transition to the voting phase. - No Spontaneous Presentations
Nonprofit representatives wishing to share updates or events are encouraged to bring printed materials. A designated table will be available for members to browse and take materials as needed. - Host Nonprofit Eligibility
To ensure fairness, **nonprofits hosting the meeting are not eligible to be selected as that night’s donation recipient**.
Open Invitation to New Members
