Closing out the NEW year

The Network of Entrepreneurial Women closed out the year with a lovely party at Anna Shae’s Chocolate Lounge in Barrington last week.

We warmed ourselves by the fireplace as we enjoyed the whimsical and girly setting.

Chocolates are made on site here, and we couldn’t resist sampling pieces.

I imbibed in the delectable S’mores Martini.

We exchanged business cards as we discussed what’s new and big in our businesses.

Then we had fun with a pub-style trivia quiz on which both teams did quite well.

They didn’t go home empty-handed.

After wishing each other happy holidays we were on our way to more merry-making.

The three NEW cofounders crafted our fun and varied calendar for 2014.

The recipe exchange continued with a buttered rum demonstration.

It was delicious.

We will see you in January for our next event!
