Tallahassee has had a charitable group called One-Hundred-Plus Women for a few years. But now several men have decided to start a similar group of their own.<\/p>\n

One of those men is named Jim Wylie. He said the whole idea came from his aquaintence with the Tallahassee woman who started the original group.<\/p>\n

“Virginia Glass is a long time friend of mine. I actually lived in her neighborhood until I moved to Westminster Oaks about 5 months ago. So when Virginia Glass was recruiting my wife to be a member of the 100 Women, I said, ‘Virginia, maybe there ought to be a group for men.’ And she looked at me with that twinkle in her eye that only Virginia has and said, ‘Well, maybe you should start one.'”<\/p>\n

Wylie took up that challenge. Although he acknowledged that, while the women are now closing in on 300 members, their male counterparts have yet to reach the magic one-hundred mark. But, he insisted, the ladies had a head start.<\/p>\n

“We’re moving a little slower. I think a lot of women joined Virginia and a lot of men will be joining us as they find out about it.”<\/p>\n

Because the thing, said Wylie, is that no matter the chromosome makeup of the members, the 100+ organizations all work the same way: they generate funds for local human service non-profits.<\/p>\n

“How else can you come together only 4 times a year and give only $100 and then give that money back to our community? We’re not raising it for ourselves. We’re not a separate 501c3. The checks are made out to the charities and we just have a mechanism in place that facilitates giving in Tallahassee\/Leon County.”<\/p>\n

Only one thing, he said, is missing.<\/p>\n

“We need more members for the members to nominate charities that we can give this money away to.”<\/p>\n

Interested guys should shoot Jim an email.<\/p>\n

“Our next meeting will be right before Thanksgiving. So we’d encourage your listeners to reach out to me and others to become part of this organization. My email is: fjameswylie@gmail.com.” <\/p>\n
