Women's Networking Group Presents Appy Hour Fundraiser
The Women in Business Advisory Forum (WIBAF), a networking group of the Palatine Area Chamber of Commerce, presents Appy Hour on Tuesday, March 18 from 5pm to 7pm at d'Vine Wine & Gifts, 742 Dundee Road, Palatine, IL 60074.
The Appy Hour event will include appetizers and popcorn donated by Signature Sweets, desserts donated by Costco Wholesale, free door prize entry, raffles, networking opportunities, wine tasting, and app sharing. Wine tasting will be provided by the knowledgeable staff at d'Vine Wine & Gifts. Participants are also invited to join the Appy Hour portion of the evening to share their favorite mobile apps. A large selection of raffle prizes will be available thanks to the generosity of many Chamber members and local businesses.
Tickets for this event are just $20 per person and proceeds will benefit the new WIBAF Scholarship Program. The scholarship process is still under review, and the group plans to award at least one scholarship to a high school senior this spring. Applications will be available at the end of March on the Palatine Chamber website, www.palatinechamber.com.
