100+ Women Strong: Empowering Inland Mendocino | Empowering Change!

If you've ever wanted to make a significant impact with a small donation, look no further! The perfect opportunity is just around the corner, and I can't wait to tell you all about it. Allow me to introduce you to "100 Women Strong," an incredible organization with a fascinating origin story. Founded by an inspiring individual in Ukiah Inland Mindo back in 2018 or 2019 (I believe it was 2018), the organization was sparked into existence after attending the Lake County 100 Women Plus event. This local founder, Katie Fairbairen, felt so motivated by her experience that she was determined to bring a similar initiative to Inland Mindo. As someone who was on the steering committee at the time, I can't express how grateful we are for her dedication and hard work in starting this project. Originally an in-person event, the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to shift gears and transition to online operations in 2020. We took a break in 2021 but made a triumphant return in 2022 with two incredibly successful events. These events brought together over 100 individuals, each pledging a hundred dollars, regardless of which non-profit wins. Here's how it works: during the event, three non-profits get the chance to present their work and explain how they would utilize the funds if chosen. The audience has the opportunity to ask questions, gaining deeper insights into the organizations and their impact on the community. It's remarkable to hear the stories of these non-profits and the difference they make in people's lives. After all presentations are done, attendees vote on the non-profit they believe deserves the support. The votes are tallied while we listen to the previous winner share how the donation impacted their organization. The excitement builds, and finally, the chosen non-profit for the month is announced. Being part of this process is a truly incredible experience, as you witness the power of collective giving and the positive change it brings to the community. Now, you may wonder how you can get involved. It's simple! By visiting our website and becoming a member, you can pledge $100 twice a year, totaling $200 for the year. Attend our events, enjoy some wine, food, and snacks (provided by Caring Kitchen, sponsored by Visit Mendocino), and have a great time while supporting a noble cause. If you're passionate about making a real impact and want to witness how your $100 donation can make a $10,000 difference, join us today. Feel free to drop any questions about "100 Women Strong" below, and I'll be more than happy to answer them. Thank you for your time, and have a fantastic day! I'll be back soon with more exciting updates. See you in the next video!

Unlocking Ukiah: Demographics and Insights 2023

I'm here to break down what Ukiah's demographic is and let's get into it! With over 16,000 people Ukiah is 386 on the list of the most populated city in the state of California out of 1571. So we're pretty populated on this list. The two largest Ukiah ethnic groups are 54 white and 35.6 Hispanic and two or more are of 3.8. In 2021, the median household income of Ukiah residents was 56,000 a year which is very low seems very low to me Ukiah resident's average is 37 years old. I did gather some reviews from this website that provided the info and I wanted to read them to you guys. They said four out of five. small town Vibes. There are a lot of nice people here and all your local grocery stores available. There's a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a Japanese Restaurant, and two Starbucks. Technically, there are three, because there's one in Safeway, the main street was newly renovated, and State Street Main Street is in terrible condition at the time of this video. You guys have roughly twice the number of people including red Valley Potter, Valley capella in Tallmadge, as a census report during the business day an average of 40,000 people work inside city limits or in the business in residential neighborhoods, north to south, I agree with that statement, this person rated Ukiah a two out of five. It's okay my job pays all right the people overall are nice and welcoming we have a Costco. Please build a Target too. The scenery is pretty but not quite postcard-worthy. I think that's pretty rude. I have some good pictures. There's a big juxtaposition between the Haves and have-nots a lot of attitude in this small town, lots of homeless, mentally ill, and entitled people that I think this place is Napa or something. It is incredibly expensive to rent or buy a house in this town. That's pretty remote. The roads are poorly maintained, and riddled with potholes, and cracks close enough to the Redwoods, the coast, and the bay. So that accounts for something, I guess, that's what I've been saying. This person I had to get a one out of five just to see what it was and they said the economy is propped up by cannabis growers. Eucharist growth is personally stunted by those on the city council. The main issue is homelessness which eats most of the resources the idea of providing quality and available housing is their last concern. Housing is rundown and starts at 1.6 000 for a two-bedroom and one point. Eight thousand for three-bedroom quality hubs start at 2.4. This review is making me yawn! The nearest quality conveniences and Health Services are 50 miles away. I'd leave if I could. I don't know why you can't. I would say that they're closer than that but whatever somebody else says is their own thoughts and opinions as far as Housing Development goes in the city limits of Ukiah is pretty limited due to the fact that there are very minimal spaces of raw land that could even be infill but the places that are the city has worked with the builders to try to make the process easier to get housing. Then I would also say that typically budgets that are budgeted for homelessness are budgeted towards homelessness and you cannot use them for anything else. So even though there's a million-dollar grant for homelessness, you cannot use it for roads it's how grants work. That's why they are a thing and that's why people should attend meetings or read more than just the headlines. That's my thoughts. I would love to hear what your review of Ukiah is, and how many stars you would give it if it was a restaurant, if you'd like to know more about Ukiah, you can visit my unlocking Ukiah guide and it will show you everything that you would ever need to know about Ukiah. So not everything, I guess, but a lot of stuff anyways, it's linked down in the bio. Go get it!
