Collective Giving and Philanthropy were the themes of the Women’s Giving Circle annual dinner. President Patricia Huber, welcomed the 80+ attendees at the June 14th dinner at the Lighthouse Restaurant in Cedar Lake. 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 from their philanthropy. This year, the ladies donated an astonishing $20,000! They distributed $10,000 at the dinner and another $10,000 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.
