Dear Friends of the West Side Business Network,
We’re celebrating one year of success, and we couldn’t have done it without you!
You’ve been with us all the way as we’ve been networking, growing, and highlighting all that’s good on Chicago’s West Side. We’re proud to start our second year with a variety of celebrations.
I am overjoyed that so many strong, inspiring women were able to make it to our West Side Women meeting on Monday, March 3rd. Special guests Dan Haley, Anan Abu-Taleb, and Reverand Jones even came by to see what we’re all about. See more pictures from the event at austinweeklynews.com.
I invite you to continue celebrating March as West Side Business Network month with me at the meetings for West Side Bridge, West Side Men, AWN Business Development Luncheon, West Side Manufacturing Network, and aWomen‘s History Month Health Panel. We will also have a One Year Anniversary party for members of the West Side Business Network coming up on Thursday, March 13th.
Great things are happening on the West Side. Join us for more!
All my best,
Dawn Ferencak
