The five finalists who will be giving presentations at the dinner are:

While we are celebrating with our nonprofit winners, I hope that you will consider bringing your checkbook or credit card to sign up for next year's circle. If you make a down payment of at least $250, you will be entered into the drawing for the beautiful necklace shown below. If you can't join us for the dinner, NO PROBLEM! --get your payment in before the dinner and your name will be included in the drawing. I hope you can join us and celebrate ten years of the Power of Women Giving as One!
