2021 Women's Circle of Friends Grantmaking Gala

We are so grateful to have been able to host the annual Women's Gala on Tuesday, September 14th. This year looked a little bit different than events from the past. We were able to spread ourselves out at Whitetail Tree Farm with gorgeous centerpieces from Weiland's Flowers. The location was beautiful, and we're thankful to Brandon and Amy Miller for being such gracious and helpful hosts. We were also able to provide food from Primo Restaurant. We had three volunteers, Darin Brown, Charley Willis, and Nick Estelle, come in to serve food to our guests in an effort to keep the serving line as safe as possible. Guests enjoyed the music of Emily Hurst, including a lovely song by Carrie Underwood about hometowns. We were pleased to present grant money to local non-profits and to hear from this year's recipient of the Women's Circle of Friends endowment, Second Harvest Food Bank, about the grant money they had received earlier this year. Amanda Kavars shared about how they were able to use what they were given to impact the girls of Henry County.

This year's winner of 50% of the proceeds was Safe at Home. The runners-up, Secret Families of Henry County and Victory Lane, were each awarded 25%. These organizations are all working hard to make a difference in Henry County. We were glad to have them present at our event and look forward to working together in the future.

Hilary Bennett: Familiar Face, New Role

At their monthly meeting in August, the Board of Directors asked our Education Manager, Hilary Bennett, to take on a new role. Her title will now be Program Director, and she will continue to oversee all of the scholarship responsibilities while also managing the grants.  Hilary has worked at the Foundation since October 2019. She understands the work of the Foundation well, and we're looking forward to seeing her step into this position and continue to make a difference in Henry County. Thank you for the encouragement you will give to Hilary as she navigates this position.
