There is strength in numbers and Ten Squared Men proves it! The group is modeled after a similar group in Panora, Iowa, which just so happens to be the boyhood home of local retiree John Teale who started the Maryville chapter.They are a group of what is now 137 members who donate $100 quarterly to a chosen local charity. The perspective recipients of the money are submitted to the members. Then, through a random draw, three are chosen to make a presentation to the group for a final decision on the winning organization. Checks are then written directly to the recipient by each member. There are no admin fees or bank accounts to manage. As you can imagine $13,700 is nothing to sneeze at!
