Passion and giving was the theme of the Women’s Giving Circle annual dinner. President Patricia Huber, welcomed the 100+ attendees and extended a special hello to several of the 20 new members present at the August 12th dinner. Throughout the year, ladies participate by “giving” to the Women’s Giving Circle Fund. Annually they gather to decide the local charities that will benefit by their philanthropy. This year, the ladies raised an astonishing $18,920! They distributed $9,460 at the dinner and another $9,460 was placed in the CPCF community endowment fund. This fund provides grants to support community needs and programs three times each year through the grant process at the Foundation.
