WINGS annual meeting
Women in Northfield Giving Support (WINGS), a Northfield philanthropic organization, will be holding its annual meeting this Saturday, January 26, at 9 a.m. Members, guests and the public are invited to attend the meeting, which will be held at Community Resource Bank, 1605 Heritage Drive, in the Community Room.
One of the meeting highlights will be featured speaker Sarah Swan McDonald. She is a Northfield High School social studies teacher who leads the service learning initiative there. Sarah teaches the service learning class and is also a WINGS 2007 grant recipient for a program that links community service and academic learning.
Outgoing President Jennifer Sawyer will talk about WINGS successes in the past year and plans for the future. We'll be conducting our annual business meeting, including voting on our new Board of Directors. Come that morning and enjoy coffee and those great caramel rolls from Brick Oven Bakery!
WINGS now has more than 200 members and has given more than $240,000 in grants to serve women and children of the Northfield area. WINGS seeks to educate and expand the number of women in philanthropy in the Northfield are, and provides grants to nonprofit organizations supporting women and children.
