Provided the Charity Nomination Form is filled out at least two weeks in advance of a meeting, and it has been vetted and approved, the nominating member and their charity will automatically be entered in the draw each quarter.

At the end of each meeting, three charities are drawn from the hat. Successful drawees are notified, giving them three months to prepare their presentations.

At the meeting, after the opening remarks, the three charities being considered will be announced, and the nominating members, or a charity representative, will be asked to make a 5 minute, simple presentation in favour of their charity. That is followed by six minutes for Q&A. The membership in attendance then cast their votes.

If your bid is unsuccessful, you are welcome to follow the same procedure at the next meeting for another opportunity.

If your charity IS chosen, you are then free to nominate another one in the future!

We encourage all our members to participate by submitting the names of local, deserving, charitable organizations.
