To the editor:

I’m excited to introduce a new community organization: 100 Women Who Care New Ulm Area. Two times a year 100+ women from the area gather to benefit local non-profits with a $10,000 gift ($100 from each). Members nominate their favorite local charity. Three nominations are chosen for consideration. Each nominated organization has five minutes to explain how $10,000 would benefit their mission. Members vote for one of the three to be blessed with everyone’s $100 checks. 100 women. $100. $10,000 to one local non-profit!

Our first event will be held on Sunday, Oct. 17h at 6 p.m. at Turner Hall.

Those interested in joining can go to 100women-newulm.org for more information and to become a member. It’s free to join.
