 The newly organized and growing Currituck-Dare Woman's Fund has elected a study of health issues of women and children in Currituck and Dare counties as their main grant making focus.
Speaking at the first program on June 10 at Keefers Grille, The Point Golf Club will be Betse Kelly, OBX Hospital Cancer Resource Center Coordinator. All members and friends are invited to attend. The meeting begins at 5:30 and will end by 7:00.  Betse Kelly is the first in a series of speakers to address their services, community needs and the unmet needs or gaps in health services for women and children.

Vicki Hecht-Boehm, newly elected President, invites all women to attend this new community funding resource organization. Woman's giving circles are part of a growing trend in philanthropy, bringing women together and helping them to invest and target issues in their communities important to women and children. The Currituck-Dare Woman's Fund is part of the network of Womens Funds across North Carolina and is supported by the services of the North Carolina Community Foundation. 

Women who choose to become members make an annual donation and can be as active in the group's programs as they choose. The annual donations made by the members are pooled to create an annual grant making fund that is then made available through a competitive grants process to those organizations seeking funds to address local needs.

For more information about this new group or the network of Woman's Fund in North Carolina, please go to  nccommunityfoundation.org or call Peggy Birkemeier at the NCCF Northeast Region Office at 491.8166.
