Dickinson County 100-Plus Women to meet Monday

IRON MOUNTAIN — The Dickinson County 100-Plus Women Who Care will have its 38th gathering Monday at Pine Grove Country Club in Iron Mountain.

Registration will be open from 5 to 6 p.m., with the meeting to begin promptly at 6 p.m. Individual members will register by last name; team members will check in under their captain’s name.

The club will host a pizza buffet for $10 per person for anyone wishing to eat after the meeting.

Those who are going to nominate a charity are asked to verify their 501(c)(3) status beforehand.

For those not familiar with the group, 100-Plus Women meets quarterly and provides a $100 donation, either as individual or team.

Those donating can nominate organizations/members to speak at the gathering and answer questions.

Only three organizations/members are picked to speak, with five minutes of information and five minutes for questions.

Members attending then vote — one vote per $100 donation — on their choice to receive the entire sum donated for the quarter.

“We were happy to help the Medical Care Access Coalition with their mission of helping people with their prescription assistance. We collected just over $17,000 for the MCAC last quarter,” said Trisha Peterson of Dickinson County 100-Plus Women Who Care.

This last donation brought the total raised to almost $800,000 that 100-Plus Women have given back to the community.

The group is excited to get to that $1 million mark, so they are really encouraging members to bring new people so they can achieve this goal more quickly.

They invite individuals or groups to join 100-Plus Women at any quarter gathering.

“The more members we have, the more money we can donate,” Peterson said.

Starting at $3.50/week.
