RBWN Annual Holiday Re-Gift Auction and Luncheon

December Networking Luncheon Mixes Network & Re-Gifting

November 21, 2011: Rockland County, NY: The Rockland Business Women’s Network (RBWN) December Luncheon will mix face-to-face networking with a chance for like-minded clutter busters to get rid of unwanted items in good condition at the organization’s annual Re-Gift Auction to be held on December 14, 2011 from 12-2 pm at the Comfort Inn in Nanuet.

 A re-gift auction is a chance for like-minded clutter busters to get rid of unwanted items in good condition – not to mock the gift giver. While everyone has at least one taste-impaired relative, the gathering of friends is a chance to exchange goods in the hope that someone might find a use for one of the items.

Not only will a re-gift party exorcise those drunk reindeer patterned shot glasses from your home, but you might pick up some kitsch you’ve secretly wanted. If you never quietly hankered for a Frosty The Snowman snow globe, the RBWN Re-Gift Party is as good a method to pick up some great gifts before the holiday shopping rush. If you don’t have an item to re-gift, restaurant and store gift certificates or gift cards will be accepted and auctioned starting at face value. You may also provide a gift certificate for a product or service that you or your business is offering. Be sure to bring cash or your checkbook and credit cards.

50% of the auction’s proceeds will benefit the RBWN’s Charity of Choice, the Rockland County chapter of the Pajama Program, a non-profit organization that provides new pajamas and books to children in need.
 
Women business organizations and individuals from the New York-New Jersey area are invited. All Rockland and vicinity businesswomen are welcome to join this luncheon event.

The event includes a hot and cold buffet lunch at the Comfort Inn & Suites Regency Ballroom in Nanuet, NY. Pre-registration is required.
