Coming Soon
Madison County Women’s Giving Circle
Fourth Quarter Meeting
Monday • 12/7 • 6:30pm
Online via Zoom
Due to Covid-19 concerns, the 4th quarter Madison County Women’s Giving Circle meeting will be an on-line Zoom meeting and instead of heir annual 4th quarter Christmas party, with contributions going to the Foundation, this will be a regular meeting with local charitable 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profits or other qualifying tax-exempt organizations presenting information about their projects for supporting women and children in Madison County.
Those who wish to present must contact Jacque Mohs either by email at jacmohs@aol.com or by phone at 515 468-1899 on or before Thursday, December 3, 2020, to be entered in the drawing to present at this meeting. We ask that each applicant provide a brief description of their project, tax-exempt status, an email where they can be reached and a mailing address that can be shared with members.
If there are more than 3 applicants, 3 presenters will be chosen by a random drawing. Those presenters will be allowed 4 minutes to talk and 4 minutes for follow-up questions and answers. Members will vote to determine which group receives MCWGC’s contribution this quarter.
Applicants who are not one of the 3 presenters will be allowed 2 minutes to give a brief description of their project or service and 2 minutes for questions and answers. Jacque will confirm with each applicant by Friday, December 4th and will give them instructions for presenting and for joining the Zoom meeting.
Ester Mae Cox will send information about the Zoom meeting to members. Any questions from members should be addressed to her: missestermae@gmail.com
On of these days, we’ll be able to go back to our ‘normal’ event schedule here in Winterset, but in the meantime, our local organizations continue to work and think creatively to bring us alternative events, like these two coming up next weekend…
Drive-Through Old Fashioned Christmas
Saturday • 12/12 • 10:00am – Noon
Madison County Historical Complex
Santa will greet each car with a treat and accept wish lists during the drive-through version of this local holiday tradition at the Madison County Historical Complex next Saturday.
“Holidays Lights on The Hill” is also on display at the Madison County Historical Complex every evening starting at 5:00pm. The lights will be on until midnight each night through December 31st.
Christmas Radio Show Broadcast
Saturday • 12/12 • 5:00pm
The Winterset Stage on KSOI 91.9 FM
The Winterset Stage community theater has done ‘radio theater’ before, but in front of a live audience. This time, they’re doing the real deal…ON the radio!
A talented group of local actors will present two short holiday tales over the airwaves next weekend. While you provide your own holiday treats, they’ll provide the Christmas stories: The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree and The Boy with the Box. Tune into KSOI 91.9 FM at 5:00pm on Saturday, December 12th, or live stream from their website: KSOIFM.com.
