Don’t miss the opportunity to see the Impact100 Martin transformational grants at work.

Join us for Preserving Healthy Food for Our Community - House of Hope.

House of Hope's new food preservation program preserves fresh produce that they grow or receive in bulk donations, as well as healthy meals and sauces made in their nutrition center. This program reduces food waste, increases healthy food options for our clients and partners, and significantly extends the shelf life of nutritious food items House of Hope distributes.

Let's see firsthand the difference your donation to Impact100 made for this project and the people it serves.

Hosted by: Joan Gibbons & Kelly McIntyre

The Pearl

Join us for a discussion on Janelle Brown’s compelling novel, What Kind of Paradise!

This story introduces Jane, a young woman raised in complete isolation in the mid-90s Montana wilderness by her brilliant father, who sought to shield her from the complexities of the modern world. Their secluded life is built on deep convictions, but when Jane’s devotion is tested by a stunning revelation about her family's past, she is set on a quest to discover the truth.

Leaving the woods for the vibrant, yet confusing, world of early San Francisco tech, Jane must reconcile her powerful love for her father with his questionable ethics. This novel offers a fascinating exploration of parental legacy, the nature of progress, and the challenge of establishing one’s own moral compass amidst profound change. It’s an unforgettable read that prompts reflection on what we value and where we truly belong.

This is an opportunity to dive deep into a book that inspires, challenges, and leaves a lasting impression. This Impact100 Martin member engagement series brings together women who enjoy reading books that make you think! 

Join moderators Jill Preston and Linda Weiksnar as the group discusses the novelist and the novel.

RSVP by January 30, 2026 

Although the event is informal, please ensure you have read the book if you plan to attend. It will be held in the private home of one of our members; the address will be provided to all who RSVP by the deadline. Please bring your beverage.

Atlantic Classical Orchestra "Into the Night"

Guest Artist: Hina Khoung-Huu, violin

Night has always stirred the imagination—its mysteries, its dangers, its dreams. This Masterworks concert ventures into that twilight world, where stories come alive, shadows stretch, and music dances on the edge of sleep and storm.

Beginning with Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, a feverish tone poem of witches and dark rites, which was most famously used in Disney’s Fantasia, the piece is a whirlwind conjuring of the supernatural.

The night takes on a different hue in Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2. Rising star Hina Khuong-Huu, winner of the Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, brings her brilliance and depth to this haunting concerto.

The program concludes with music from Tchaikovsky’s ballet, Sleeping Beauty. The finale—the famous waltz—is matched only in popularity by the equally exquisite Swan Lake waltz, which is offered as an encore. These dances shimmer—even in the dark—and remind us that night is not just the realm of spirits and shadows, but of dreams and wonder.

Cost: $25. Limited to 28 registrations.

Note: There is a Pre-event gathering for cocktails before the show at Spritz City Bistro (don't miss the separate event registration)
