WHAT’ S NEWS IN PETERS TOWNSHIP
CELEBRATE THE SEASON WITH SUNNY BRIDGE
One of the most special times of the year is on the way. It ' s the time when family and friends come together to feast and give thanks for life’ s many blessings.
Thanksgiving brings traditional foods to the table including turkey with stuffing, savory gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, cranberries and pie!
However, as the celebration nears, it can become increasingly stressful for someone that has special dietary needs.
INSPIRED WOMEN PAYING IT FORWARD LAUNCHES IN THE SOUTH HILLS
On Oct. 24, the very first meeting of Inspired Women Pittsburgh South will take place from 6 to 7 p. m. at the Hyatt Place, Meadowlands. Kym Gable, of KDKA news, has stepped up as the Chapter Leader, and up to $ 10,000 will be raised at quarterly, Happy Hour meetings. Recipients are nonprofits benefiting women and girls locally and globally.
“ I’ m beyond excited to help launch this first replication of an amazing model that can really make a difference for women and girls in need,” said Gable.“ I’ m surrounded by such dedicated, selfless women who spend countless hours volunteering and fundraising, but for some, the time and energy it takes can be a challenge. This concept just spoke to me because of its efficiency and commitment to women.”
The mission of this new Powerhouse Giving Circle is to create a space for women who have more in their lives to take action on behalf of women who have less. Inspired Women Paying it Forward is open to anyone who is interested in combining forces with like-minded women who’ ve agreed to make a quarterly donation of $ 100. The impact will be significant for the one women-related
501( c)( 3) charity nominated and selected by the membership’ s majority vote each quarter. Two of the quarterly meetings’ donations will go to local women’ s charities, while the other two will be for initiatives with a more global focus.
At each meeting, the names of three nominated charities will be drawn. The members championing those organizations will make a short appeal on their behalf. One deserving charity will then be selected through a majority vote, at which point every member writes a check for $ 100 made out directly to that charity. One-hundred percent of every check goes directly to the selected nonprofit!
There will be a cash bar and food available at each meeting, and members stay to take advantage of fantastic networking opportunities. There is no need to RSVP and the only expense commitment is $ 400 per year($ 100 per quarter).
Inspired Women Paying it Forward started in the North Hills of Pittsburgh in 2015 and has raised over $ 50,000 for deserving women-centered charities. The leader of that chapter, Debra Dion Krischke, has been instrumental in helping Gable and her committee of volunteers establish a presence in the South Hills.
