The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Women’s Networking Committee invites all women from throughout Greater Hazleton to an International Women’s Day Networking event on Wednesday, February 27th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Sacco Chiropractic, located at 1730 E. Broad Street, Hazleton.

Women are encouraged to come together and celebrate International Women's Day in Greater Hazleton and stand among women worldwide. The theme for 2019 is better the balance, better the world #balanceforbetter. As quoted from the International Women’s Day website, “The future is exciting. Let's build a gender-balanced world. Everyone has a part to play - all the time, everywhere. From grassroots activism to worldwide action, we are entering an exciting period of history where the world expects balance. We notice its absence and celebrate its presence.”

 

Gather your employees, co-workers, friends and guests. A doorprize drawing and a 50/50 raffle will take place to benefit our Women's Empowerment Grant. Everyone is also encouraged to bring your business cards, brochures, coupons or giveaways to share on our "Business Resource Table".

There is a $5.00 registration fee for Chamber members and a $7.00 registration fee for non Chamber members, which will be collected at the door. Proceeds will benefit the annual Women’s Empowerment Grant fund.

Reservations are required for the mixer by registering online at www.hazletonchamber.org, contacting the Chamber office at 455-1509 or .

Other upcoming Women’s Networking events include a luncheon program on Tuesday, March 26th at the Brass Buckle Restaurant in Conyngham from 12 noon to 1 pm. The guest speaker for the event is Dr. Richard Greco, OB/GYN at Lehigh Valley Health Network who will present on Breast Cancer Screening and Prevention. The 13th Annual Ladies Night Out event sponsored by Lehigh Valley Hospital – Hazleton, is taking place on Thursday, April 11th at Top of the 80’s Restaurant in Hazleton. Applications are now being accepted to participate in the business expo portion of this event. These businesses will have the opportunity to showcase their products and services to an audience of professional businesswomen from the Greater Hazleton area. The goal of this event is to provide an evening of networking, relaxation, shopping and self-indulgence for all businesswomen who attend. Participating businesses will display products, provide demonstrations, offer samples of your services and cash and carry items, which will provide an overall enjoyable experience to each woman who comes to visit your display table.
