In Memoriam

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of long-time Giving Circle member Nancy Jo Eller. To read more about her remarkable life, see: https://fredericknewspost-md.newsmemory.com/?publink=1c7ec647f_134fae4

We'd love to have you join the Giving Circle!

If you are not a current member of the Circle, we would love to have you join us. Membership in the Giving Circle is open to all, including men and organizations/companies. You don't need to be invited and you don't need to be recommended by anyone! A growing membership is critical to the continued funding of our grant program. For more information on WGC membership, including special options for Junior (under age 21), young (under age 35), and organizational members, see our membership page or contact membership chair Angela Chase at membership@frederickwgc.org. Angela would be thrilled to connect with prospective new members either in-person or via email, phone, or Zoom.  You are also welcome to attend one of our monthly Coffee Chats, held the second Tuesday of every month, 7:30-8:30am, at Dublin Roasters on North Market Street. (Note that we will not be holding a Coffee Chat in September as it falls on the same date as our September Luncheon).

We look forward to meeting you!
