Central Oregon Women Who Care Help Give a Boost to Local Charities

The newly formed group aims to get local women to pledge one hundred dollars to go to local charities every three months.

 

The idea is to get a greater bang for their giving buck.

 

Co-founder Lisa Conners explains.

 

"If I give a check for one hundred dollars and someone else gives a hundred dollars and my co-founder gives a hundred dollars to the Bethlehem Inn that's great.  But when we pool our resources, look at what we've achieved.  We're going to give them thosuands of dollars just by collaborating and working together as a group."

 

The group just started last month and more than 160 women showed up for the first meeting. The beneficiary this quarter is the Bethlehem Inn, which will get a ten thousand dolalr donation from the group.

 

The group meets every three months for one hour to vote on where the money goes.

 

The next meeting is December 2nd at the Oxford Hotel
