Every year during the holiday season, the members of Women & Hi Tech get together to celebrate our accomplishments and raise money in support of a great cause. This year is no different!
Please join us for our annual members-only Holiday Networking Event to celebrate our collective accomplishments for 2024, conclude our 25th Anniversary festivities, and raise money for the Dayspring Center.
Event Agenda:
5:30-6:15 pm: Registration, gift drop-off, grab a drink and mingle.
6:15-7:00 pm: Gift Exchange and Networking Scavenger Hunt
7:00-8:00 pm: Donation presentation and volunteer recognitions, including Volunteer of the Year.
8:00-9:30 pm: Open bar and networking.
In addition, we again invite you to participate in our members’ gift exchange. This year's theme is "Give A Little Spirit". To participate, purchase and wrap or bag a $15-$20 bottle of wine or "spirit" as a gift. Do not put your name on the outside of the package, but be sure to include a business card on the inside. Drop your gift at the registration table when you arrive at the party and secure a gift selection ticket number. During the event, you will select a gift at a designated time based on your number. Open your gift right away. Look for the business card inside, then find and introduce yourself to your gifter.
This year we will continue our winter tradition of supporting the Dayspring Center. Interested members and non-members may purchase a donation ticket to make a $20 donation to this organization without attending the event.
Finally, we will have a special recognition of our phenomenal volunteers and announce the Volunteer of the Year Award Recipient. When you register, be sure to list a person you feel deserves special recognition for their volunteer efforts for Women & Hi Tech in 2024.
About Dayspring Center:
Dayspring Center provides emergency shelter, clothing, and three nourishing meals a day for homeless families with children in central Indiana. Families turn to us as a last resort; some to escape domestic abuse, others have experienced financial collapse, medical problems, or other crises that caused them to lose their home.
Dayspring effectively works to combat and prevent family homelessness by first, meeting their most immediate needs for food and shelter, then working with each family to address the issues that led them to their homelessness. When it comes to homelessness, results are what matter most. 70% of residents who complete the program at Dayspring Center move directly into permanent housing.
