COMMUNITY News:

Volunteer organizers of the 100+ Women Who Care-Los Alamos quarterly philanthropic dinners have announced that their next event is 5:30-7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 12, in the Student Center, Building 2 on the UNM-LA Campus at 4000 University Drive.

Enterprise Bank & Trust is sponsoring this first-quarter charitable event.

The event is a call for local women (all are allowed; however, there is also a separate men’s quarterly event) to donate $100 to a local nonprofit organization. At the dinner, three local nonprofits that have applied and been randomly drawn present a 5-minute pitch to attendees, who then vote on one nonprofit to receive their donations. Anyone wishing to attend is asked to email their RSVP to WomenWhoCareLosAlamos@outlook.com.

Local nonprofits that have not already applied must meet qualifications and submit a simple 2-question application for future consideration. Emailed applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.

Los Alamos Community Foundation serves as the fiscal agent for the 100+ Women Who Care-Los Alamos volunteer organizers.
