August Microfinance & Microbrews: Meet the Micro-entrepreneurs

July 23, 2010 1 Comment


It is rare to have the opportunity to meet the people, who microfinance has helped.  Usually they are only a distant face in a foreign country or a profile on a web site or on a microfinance organization’s brochure, but microfinance helps people locally here in Washington state.  Join us for this rare opportunity to meet local micro-entrepreneurs, who have been lifted out of poverty.  Come listen to the first-count stories from Washington CASH’s clients/micro-entrepreneurs at Ventures, a Washington CASH retail store and business incubator, which displays and sells the products and services of dozens of talented and determined micro-entrepreneurs.  Microbrews and light appetizers will be provided.

When: August 12, 6 to 8 pm RSVP on Facebook

Where: Ventures, 314 1st Avenue South (in Seattle’s Pioneer Square), Seattle, WA

Price: a suggested $5 donation
