A note from last night’s meeting:
GOOD MORNING to the wonderful women of 100WWC Beaufort!
What a great night we had…eight new members, three fantastic and passionate presentations, one very worthy recipient of our collective giving, AND we did it all in
LESS than one hour. WOW!!
To all present, I know that you felt the energy in the room. And to those of you who were not able to join us, we missed you. It was a good night and when our totals come in, we will exceed $200,000 that has been given to fourteen non-profit organizations in Northern Beaufort County over the last 3 ½ years. That is definitely #thepowerof100.
Our presenters shared with us about:

All such worthy organizations and I hope that you will take a moment to read and learn more about each. Our members voted to give our collective donations to the Lending Room so that they will be able to continue to do what they do so well in our community.
We look forward to seeing each of you on Tuesday, July 10…same time, same place.
With a thankful heart,
