Before each meeting, 3 charities are selected via a random selection from the list of member nominated charities. The chosen organizations are then invited to give a quick presentation at our next meeting telling us about their organization and why they are seeking funding by our members for that quarter.

After the presentations, a vote is held, and the charity with the most votes by simple majority will be the recipient. Ties will be decided by further votes. If a tie persists, the membership will vote to select one of the tied organizations. If a second tie occurs, the membership committee will break the tie by coin toss.

All members must then write out their check directly to the charity with the most votes — no exceptions. All checks are collected and immediately given to the chosen charity. Members who did not vote for the selected charity agree to make their donation regardless. If the member so desires, they may elect to write another check out for any amount to the non selected charities. But in any case, the members agree to support the winning charity with at least a $100.00 donation.
