CWGC Co Conveners
Rebekah Kaufman, Co-Convener
Rebekah Kaufman who has lived in the 'ville for 34 years and enjoyed making the transition from young punk parent to neighborhood grandma. For the CWGC, she has co-led the Education Committee and arranged a number or fascinating community events, as well as being co-treasurer. She is a retired school librarian who loved walking to work at her final position in Catonsville Elementary School. Running into her former students and parents is a great joy. Just give her a moment to remember who you are! Stop by her house and browse through the Little Free Library in the front yard, and chat about books and gardening. She relishes her grown babies and her most perfect grand babies—just ask her!
Esther DeVries, Co-Convener
"When I attended my first CWGC meeting, I won a gift card to Rita’s Italian Ice and the CWGC has been a sweet experience ever since. Once I became a member in 2022, my next step was to join the Grants Committee. I discovered so much about the organizations that apply to CWGC for funds to help achieve their community impact goals.
Our grantees are so impressive and varied! My experience as a liaison is another example of the continuous support that CWGC offers grantees. Each grantee organization is staffed with such dedicated individuals. Likewise, CWGC is filled with caring women who share a vision of a better tomorrow. As co-convener, I will do what I can to help CWGC meet the needs of our neighbors in the community."
