Women making a difference locally
Welcome to the Flamborough-Waterdown Chapter of 100 Women Who Care!
We bring together 100 (or more) women in Flamborough-Waterdown who care about local community causes and who are committed to community service. This chapter was founded in May 2018 by Doris Valade with the help of Lena Aggus, Heather Kane and Meghan Hughes.
We have 4 meetings per year, and each meeting will be for one hour. Each member will bring a check for $100 to each meeting. We will have a presentation from 2-3 local charities, and then a majority vote at the end of the meeting will determine which charity will receive our donations.
Our goal is 100 women = a total donation of $10,000 at each meeting. Together we can make a difference in our community!
Our meeting schedule is as follows:
Wednesday September 21, 2022 - 7;00PM to 8:00PM
Latest news:
Our 3rd meeting for 2022 was on Wednesday, June 15th and it was again a virtual meeting with zoom. Our members selected Comfort Bears (www.comfortbears.ca) as the charity to support, and a total of $6,500.00 was raised (originally $5,600 with some late donations added). Comfort Bears provides cuddly bears for children with terminal illness or experiencing serious trauma. Having a bear to hold onto makes a big difference for a child going through difficult times in their young lives. Comfort Bears are individually sanitized and packaged with a tag providing the name of the individual or group donating this special friend. Bears are provided to hospitals, first responders and community organizations who gift the bears to children in need. In 2022, they will distribute over 1,000 bears!!
