The 10 Squared Women of Guthrie County held its third-quarter meeting of 2024 on Tuesday, Sept. 3 at Twin Vines in Panora. Forty women attended in person, and six members attended via Zoom.
After hearing presentations from Friends of the Mary J Barnett Library (Guthrie Center), Guthrie County First Responders and Guthrie Center Farmer’s Market, the group announced a lump sum of $14,600 would be presented to Guthrie County First Responders. This consists of member donations and several employer matches.
The funds from the 10 Squared Women will be used toward training and equipping first responders in Guthrie County.
“Thank you so much to the 10 Squared Women of Guthrie County for helping us begin to fulfill our mission of doing good and being G.R.E.A.T. (Guthrie Responders Equipped and Trained). We are forever grateful for the impact we know your contribution will have on the first responders in Guthrie County,” Jotham Arber said.
