Last night’s 5th Anniversary Celebration at Maria Hopper’s was amazing! Thanks to Maria for hosting a great party.  It was inspiring to hear everyone’s recollections and be a part of the energy.  It reminded me of why I joined.

Everyone has a Giving Circle story. Here are a couple of others…

Sue Setliff:  “The Giving Circle gives me a reason every day to think about others. My daughter is five years old and already she knows my work with the Giving circle is something I choose to do, not something I have to do.”

Cathleen Phelps: “Everyone has hopes and dreams for their children.  I know my contribution to The Giving Circle is going to give children the best chance of achieving those hopes and dreams, much more of a chance than any individual investment I could make.  Last year, I watched a family’s life change instantly because of Giving Circle work.  It was truly humbling, heartwarming and unforgettable.  Each time I hear stories about the results of our gifts, it makes me want to give more.”
