100 Women Who Care

100 Women Who Care is a group that of women who care deeply about their community. A 100 WWC group gathers 4 times a year for a one-hour meeting and each member writes a $100 check to the charity that the group selects. This combined donation makes a real impact, without time consuming fundraising events and planning. The mission and hope of 100 WWC is to provide for those in greatest need in the local community.

To join 100 WWC, attend the next meeting October 24, 2019 at 7pm at the Marshall Public Library. Visit the Facebook page: 100 Women Who Care Marshall.

From the Director's Desk:

Please say its not so...summer is coming to an end. School is right around the corner and its about time to start the daily routines. I can honestly say, i'm NOT ready, but ready or not, here it comes. 

I am so very thankful for my summer assistant, Annie Smitley and all the work she has done to get our database cleaned up and up to date, and so much more. Next week we say good bye to Annie as she is headed back to college and we welcome a new team member. With that said, please be patient as I train the new chamber staff to get up to speed.
