The next Network of Entrepreneurial Women event is on December 11 at Anna Shae’s Chocolates in Barrington. The combined Meet & Munch and Wine, Women and Wellness event features Nifty Educational Wisewoman Trivia, where we break up into teams, make up awesome team names, and then test our knowledge of women and winter themed trivia.

There will also be a Holiday Recipe Exchange, with goodies to sample. This will be our only event for the month to give everyone time to close out the year and enjoy quality time with their families.
