The Sisterhood For Good giving circle grew closer together during its Meet Your Sisters event on June 20 at Oak & Stone. 

The volunteer organization has seen aggressive expansion as of late — there are now 110 members — and founding member Angela Massaro-Fain thought of no better way to bring members together than a lively meet-and-greet event.  

Circle members sipped drinks, mingled and threw their names in a bowl to win a jewelry bracelet raffle. The Sisterhood For Good recently supplied nonprofits with 11 grants equaling $20,000.
