100-Plus Women Who Care to meet Monday

IRON MOUNTAIN — The Dickinson County 100-Plus Women Who Care will host its next 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 can 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. The bar will be open from 5 to 5:50 p.m. and again after the meeting.

Those who are going to nominate a charity are asked to verify the nominee’s 501(c)(3) status in advance.

For those not familiar with the group, 100-Plus Women meets quarterly.

Those donating $100 at the meeting, either by group or individuals, can nominate organizations/members to speak at the gathering and answer questions about their non-profit. 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. Members can make an individual donation or via teams of up to four.

Not all team members have email addresses, so those planning to participate are asked to make sure their team members knows the date for the meeting.

They also ask that attendees make sure they are prepared to pay if not all teammates are present. Members can gather checks from those absent in advance.

“Marshfield Clinic Health System Foundation in Iron Mountain was chosen (in February) to win the donation that will help fund cancer research and clinical trials at our local cancer center. The donation totaled $16,000‚” said Trisha Peterson of Dickinson County 100-Plus Women Who Care.

With this last donation, 100-Plus Women has contributed almost $849,000 that was given back to the community.

“We can’t wait to get to $1 million, so we are really encouraging our members to bring new people so we can achieve this goal quicker,” Peterson said.

The group invite individuals or groups to join 100-Plus Women at any of the quarterly gatherings. To learn more about 100-Plus Women, call Peterson at 906-774-5731.

Starting at $3.50/week.
