MEETING INFORMATION

• To vote for a local charity at a meeting, you must be a member before the meeting. Become a member on the Join page of our website prior to attending a meeting. 

• At the beginning of the meeting, three charities will be randomly chosen from our “charity basket,” which is filled with charity nominations from our members.

• The member who nominated the selected charity (or the designated speaker from the membership or planning committee) will be asked to give a 5-minute presentation on why she thinks this charity should receive the collected funds.

• After the three presentations, members will cast a secret ballot for one of the three charities.

• While committee members are tabulating the results, a representative from the charity that was awarded funds at the previous meeting will share how the contribution helped their organization.

• Once the votes are tabulated, a committee member will announce the awarded charity.

• Members will write a cheque to the awarded charity or send an e-transfer within one week of the meeting date. They will receive a tax receipt from the awarded charity by mail.

• Members are encouraged to come early to network.

• If you cannot make a meeting, please fill out a Regrets Form.
