Once nominated, charity names will stay in the nomination jar until they are selected to present.
-
Be aware that charities that have received funding in the past 24-months are not eligible for nomination. (See Timelines below.)
-
Nominations received by Sept. 28, 2025 will be for the Oct. 9th meeting AND the January 8th, 2026 meeting.

To enable selected charities sufficient time to schedule their speaker and prepare presentations, charity selection for the January 8th meeting will be made at the October meeting ... so get your 2026 nominations in now. (And this will be the new format going forward.)
