We are a group of 140+ women interested in supporting Northville and surrounding communities by combining our donations to benefit local charities. We come from all walks of life and different financial backgrounds, but as a group, we have the ability to make a substantial impact!

This dynamic group of women meets four times per year, and each member brings a check for $100. Every member can nominate local charities, non-profits, or worthy causes. Members who come to the meeting can put the name of the charity they want to speak about into the bin. Three names are selected and a brief presentation is made for the cause. Attendees then vote on which cause to support and the checks are donated right at the meeting!

If you have questions, call or text 248-722-7354.

100 Women Who Care

Tipping Point Theatre: June 30 - July 24, 2022

Tracy Jones is having a major life crisis. Her job at the bank is taking her nowhere, her panic attacks are getting worse, and having such a common name is giving her an identity crisis. With everything spiraling out of control around her, it's time to find something she can take control of.

That's when it hits her --she's going to throw a party to celebrate every woman named Tracy Jones. After an extensive marketing campaign that included tracking down others by the same name, posters, and a Facebook event, the party is finally here. The Funtime Party Zone at the Jones Street Bar & Grill is all set up, and Tracy is eagerly awaiting her guests.

Join the overly zealous host as she explores the complexities of self identity, questions whether or not rules are meant to be followed, and most importantly, places the celery platter on the buffet table.
