Hello Giving Hope, Women’s Giving Circle members!
I am happy to announce that Giving Hope will receive a check for $1680 from the Canton Chamber of Commerce. This money was ½ of the total proceeds earned by the Golf Ball drop sales which took place at the Canton Chamber golf outing May 20th and will go into our endowment fund.
Many thanks to Maureen Visser and Noel Bittinger who manned the golf ball sales table all day!! Jane Kerjes and I, along with GH members Renee DiPonio and Jaya Wilson played in the outing representing Giving Hope.
It was a wonderful day to share Giving Hope, Women’s Giving Circle with the community!!
Best wishes and looking forward to seeing everyone at our Summer Social June 22nd!
Linda Demmer Advisory Board Chair
Tickets will be available to purchase and there will be opportunities for businesses to sponsor a great evening at various levels.
