FALL WELCOME MEETING
September 17, 2025, 1:30 p.m.
Guest speaker Susan White
Co-founder of Feed-Well Fridges
Grant recipient, Susan White, will share how Feed-Well Fridges, a non-profit she and her business partner and wife, Chef Sera Cuni, founded, is tackling the twin problems of food insecurity and commercial food waste in Chatham County.
Volunteers work daily with restaurants, grocery stores and other commercial food businesses to collect unsold food and pre-packaged meals, which are then delivered to each Feed-Well Fridge. This non-profit also partners with local farmers to stock the community fridges with fresh produce, eggs and fruit.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet other Women of Fearrington 2025-26 grant recipient representatives. They can access more information by visiting the link: https://www.womenoffearrington.org/grants
This exciting program is open, free of charge, to any resident of
Fearrington Village and Galloway Ridge.
The doors open at 1:00 for the 1:30 p.m. meeting.

SEPTEMBER ROAD TRIP
Step Into the Past:
Discover Stagville Plantation
September 18, 2025, 10:30 a.m.
5828 Old Oxford Highway, Durham
Join us for a captivating 1 1/2 hour guided tour of Stagville Plantation, led by experts from the NC State Historical Society. This is your chance to step back in time and explore the rich, complex history of North Carolina’s antebellum era at what was once the largest plantation in the state.
Discover fascinating stories of Stagville’s operations and gain deeper insight into the lives and resilience of the more than 900 enslaved people who lived and labored here. As we explore, you’ll walk the very grounds where history unfolded — from sweeping fields to preserved structures — bringing the past vividly to life.
Our tour will take us to two distinct areas of the plantation, connected by a scenic one-mile drive that we’ll travel in our own vehicles. Be prepared for an authentic experience: the outdoor paths are grass, dirt, or gravel, immersing you in the landscape much as it was two centuries ago.
Admission: $2, payable by card upon arrival— a small cost for an unforgettable journey into the past.
Interested in sharing the adventure? We’ll circulate a list of attendees closer to the date to help coordinate carpools. The drive time is about one hour.
Don’t Miss Out!
Reserve your spot and experience history come alive — we promise it’s a day you’ll be talking about long after the tour ends.
Limited to 20 Women of Fearrington members.
