The new group 100 Women Who Care in Santa Fe had their first meeting and members wrote $100 checks to the organization totaling $2,500, to aid Sojourners program of Life Link.
The drill they do is that 100 women sign commitment letters and agree to write $100 checks to local charities selected by the group at one-hour meetings held four times a year. The donations go directly to the organization and representatives of the funded groups attend future meetings to tell the women exactly how the money was spent.
