JULY 2018
Born to Read received $13,325 in July to promote early childhood literacy and development. This organization is the first agency to visit new parents and their babies in the hospital at birth. Volunteers discuss the important role parents have as the child’s first and most important teacher. They give the parents books and pamphlets to support this venture.
What a night! Congratulations to The Lending Room!
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:

Pat Conroy Literacy Center

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,
Jeneane Ryan

Off to a great start…the first donation of 2018 goes to Friends of Caroline Hospice
Friends of Caroline Hospice, a Beaufort non-profit that provides quality-of-life care for those near the end of life’s journey as well as support for family and friends, received 100 Women Who Care Beaufort’s first donation of 2018, totaling $13,150.
A letter from Founder and Leader Jeneane Ryan:
“Dear women of 100WWC,
As we begin our fourth year, I want to express my gratitude to all of you for being a part of 100WWC Beaufort and for making it such a success. It is because of you and your commitment that we are still thriving and even have EIGHT new members to add to our roster as of last night.
For those of you who were able to attend, we heard three women speak passionately about the organizations that are near and dear to their hearts.
Linda Thompson spoke of Friends of Caroline Hospice and the work that they do at no cost to their clients. Dottie Morin shared with us the mission of Born to Read and Janet Gregory told us about what is happening at USBC’s Center for the Arts.
Please take a moment to learn more about all three of these worthy organizations.
Our members voted and chose Friends of Caroline Hospice as the recipient of our first quarter giving for 2018.
Thank you again.
Jeneane Ryan
Leader”
And year three is a wrap!
A note from our Founder Jeneane Ryan:
Congratulations to the 100+ wonderful women of 100WWC Beaufort. Before last night we provided $161,000 to eleven worthy local non profit organizations in Northern Beaufort County. Our group is strong and growing with 5 new members last night and almost 400 “Likes” on FB (I am sure that is some measure of success!). Bottom line, we are continuing to get the word out and sharing what takes place every quarter in the basement of the Education Building of First Presbyterian Church in Beaufort.
Thank you again everyone for a great three years. I look forward to seeing you in January.
