Join Us at the  United Regional Chamber of Commerce  Women's Group Kick-off Event!

Your input is invaluable as we shape WIN. We recently sent out a survey and received more than 40 positive, thoughtful responses. As a follow-up to the survey, we are having a kick-off event at Bella Sarno, 553 Kelley Boulevard in North Attleboro, on February 28 at 5:30 p.m. and we would like to have you join us. There will be time set aside for networking which will be followed by a more structured meeting to get your input about the group. Please send this invitation to your friends and colleagues who might be interested in joining. The event is $5.00 for chamber members and $10.00 for guests. There will be a cash bar.

Science teacher Ann Ritchie said there will be some perennial favorites - such adding cornstarch and water to create a substance that seems to be neither solid nor liquid - as well as some new attractions. 

"There will be lots of opportunities to make things," she said. "We're very exited about a station called 'Ask a Scientist.' Thirty-six scientists from the area will be coming throughout the evening, and they'll be taking questions from the public."
