Sopris 100 Who Care

Sopris 100 Who Care Sopris 100 Who Cares is a new giving circle our community. We will make a larger impact by coming together for charitable giving on a quarterly basis. Drum roll.

So Simple, So Local

In August a wonderful idea blew in on a wind from Montrose. This idea was described by its bearer as “so simple, so local, so cut-and-dried, so Carbondale.” But what really turned my head and ear to listen carefully was when she said “it’s such a great way for all participants, no matter what their politics, similarities, or differences to get together and do good.” Sold. We h

ave decided to call our new local version of this great idea Sopris 100 Who Care. In a nutshell, here are the details. Four times a year a group of women get together at an appointed venue for an hour and a half. Each pledges to contribute $100.00. Anyone and everyone who has contributed is invited to nominate a “worthy cause.” This cause could be a non-profit, an individual, or some other kind of group that does good for our local community. (We’ve started a master list and, boy, there are a lot to think about!) The only caveat is “no political or religious affiliations.” If you nominate, you should be prepared that you might have to “pitch” your nomination. We socialize (drinks and finger food) for about a half an hour. Three nominees are then drawn out of “the hat.” Whoever nominated these gets about two minutes each to explain their the organization. Then we all vote for one of those three good causes. More socializing as very honest people tally the votes. Another drum roll. The winner is announced and takes home their newly acquired financial support. Everyone cheers, congratulates, bids “farewell until the next time,” and goes home. Our “maiden voyage” has been scheduled for Tuesday, January 23 at the Pan and Fork Restaurant in Carbondale from 5:00-6:30. E-mail invitations are going out before Christmas. If you are interested and want to join in the great work and good fun, contact one of the following: Jennifer Carney ([email protected]), Jamie Maybon ([email protected]), Cathie Farrar ([email protected]), or Bonnie Cretti ([email protected]). There is a national organization called “100 Who Care Alliance.” You could check out their website for more information. Another breeze blew in shortly after the Montrose one last summer. This one was from Moab where women there are apparently also participating in a similar project. Another wind, another idea. Who knows what’s next?

Hello from the Sopris 100 Committee! We hope that everyone is well and making the best of these often weird and difficult times. We thought we should communicate with all of you loyal and generous Sopris 100 participants at this time because it SHOULD be the time for letting you know about our next event. Of course, we know holding an event now will not be possible. Virtual alternatives and options were considered but we decided that our actual physical in-person connections were what made this program so successful. Since everyone's health and well-being is foremost in our decision-making, we decided to put the September event on hold. We hope that a February event will be possible and will communicate with you as this strange time in our lives unfolds. We urge everyone to continue to remember the organizations, individuals, families, and causes that need our support now more than ever.

here's to a healthy future and well-being for all,

Bonnie, Cathie, Cindy, Jamie & Marilyn
