Charity League Open House

The Charity League, which was founded in 1921 and is the oldest active charitable organization for women in Charlotte, is hosting an open house 7-9 p.m. Aug. 28 at FABO Coffee Art Bar, 8428 Park Road.

The nonprofit hopes the event will encourage women interested in volunteering with its programs that help children. People who want to become members are crucial because the nonprofit has no overhead, salaries or paid staff.

I’ve covered the nonprofit for years and it’s a terrific, multigenerational group of women who do so much to better the lives of children in our area, so I encourage you to learn more at www.charityleagueofcharlotte.org.
