January 2024 Membership Corner
In 2023, the Giving Circle grew by 32 members and 2024 is already off to a strong start. Our membership now includes 470 members, increasing the power of our collective giving with each new member. Our January New Member Meet and Greet was well-attended and we welcomed the opportunity to share our vision with our 2023 new-member cohort. We plan to hold more of these events, so stay tuned.
We'd like to issue a warm welcome to our newest members who have joined the Giving Circle since our last eNewsletter: Jill Baker, Stephanie Fitch, Nicole Goodwin, Mariam Memarsadeghi, Colonial Jewelers, and Oasis Senior Advisors.
We also recognize the following members who have recently advanced to a new membership giving level: Dianna Berkey (Emerald), Arleen Chafitz (Diamond), Sue Collins (Diamond), Teresa Conto (Diamond), Kate Costlow (Diamond), Laurie Fisher (Diamond), Susan Kelley (Emerald), Diane Laughlin (Pink Diamond), Carol Lee (Diamond), Nan Mann (Pink Diamond), Melina Miller (Emerald), Joanie Raymond (Emerald), Jane Talarico (Pink Diamond), Marlene Young (Hope Diamond), ALL-SHRED, Inc (Organization $15,000-$49,000). Your generosity in making the Giving Circle a priority in your philanthropic efforts is greatly appreciated.
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 and a growing membership is critical to the continued funding of our grant program.
