Hestia awarded $75,000 to 20 not-for-profit organizations serving girls and women in Emmet and Charlevoix counties. Each of the grant recipients made presentations of their planned use of the grant monies to the people in attendance. The informative and enjoyable presentations helped attendees learn how member dues monies will make a big impact in our community.
