August 5th Microbrews and Microfinance

June 11, 2008 2 Comments

Join us for our second Microfinance and Microbrews event, with our featured speaker, Lea Werbel from Grameen Foundation. Lea will speak about Grameen Technology Center’s Village Phone program based out of Seattle, which increases the efficiency of microfinance organizations and creates income-generating opportunities for the rural poor.

Meet other microfinance enthusiasts while enjoying a microbrew at one of Seattle’s finest brew pubs, Pike Pub and Brewery at 1415 First Avenue, just south of the famous fish markets. Doors open at 5:30 and we’ll begin the presentation around 6:15.

A $5 contribution is welcome to help cover the cost of the event.
