Is it Only for
Women?
There are no restrictions on membership to
One Hundred Good Women. All
women and men are welcome to participate.
How often does One Hundred Good Women
meet?
We infrequently have gatherings which may include a potluck and
a short meeting.
If you meet so infrequently, how do you get anything done?
One Hundred Good Women is a grassroots organization.
Our principal method of communication and call to action is through
a phone or even more effective, an e-mail tree. When there's a
need for us to respond to, we activate the trees.
How much does it cost
to join?
To cover postage and other expenses, we ask for a voluntary $10, or
more, annual donation.
How much commitment is required?
None. We recognize that all of us are busy.
If you receive a phone call or e-mail asking you to volunteer,
and you can't do it, that's fine. This is volunteerism without
guilt but embraces right action and accountability.
Who runs One Hundred Good Women?
We have a 10 member board of directors. When a situation arises where we
could help, the board decides if it's appropriate.
What is considered an appropriate project?
We try to respond quickly to immediate needs in the community.
Our projects are non-profit, non-political, and short-term. They
tend to benefit individuals or small groups. We also try not to
overlap with existing social service institutions by responding to situations
that may otherwise "fall through the cracks."
How do I get involved?
Contact a member of the board/advisory council to have your name
put on the e-mail or phone tree list.

that!?!
