Allison Montney notified us that she attended the 100+ Who Care in Springfield Charity Event at the Ace Sign Company on Thursday, October 17, 2024. Attendees that donate $100 get to nominate a non-profit organization that they would like to be a recipient of up to $10,000. Three names are then randomly drawn. The nominators for three nonprofits that are drawn then do a brief talk to those in attendance about their organization and what they do for the community. Attendees who donated then do a blind vote for the non-profit they would like to see win. Allison noted that her donation enabled her to nominate a nonprofit, and she nominated our Rotary Club. John Webb also donated $100 and also nominated our Club, but was unable to attend the event. Our name was drawn; Allison discussed what we do for the community; and we finished second in the vote, thus winning $2,000 for our Club. As her membership in the 100+ Who Care attests, Allison actively serves her community. The image below shows Allison (on left) with President Megan volunteering with our Rotary club for the United Way Day of Action Spring event. She also coordinates the stocking of our club's little libraries and our Ridgely School Micropantry. We appreciate her nominating and promoting our club at this event.
Thank you Allison! Thanks to your generous action, we received $2,000 for our club! We are thankful for this donation and will put it too use for the good of the community.
On a smaller note, because our citrus fundraiser was highlighted in the verbal presentation on our Club, we also garnered a $60 purchase of mixed citrus from one of the 100+ Board members. John Webb took the order. We thank John for also nominating our club and for selling citrus to one of the members of this group.
At a recent club meeting, a Board Member of 110+ presented President Megan Reynolds with our check for $2000. We are thankful for this donation.
