April 2017 Meeting : Love Local: Why Thinking Local First Matters to Our Community

The new Cape Cod Women’s Association is holding its inaugural dinner meeting Tuesday, April 11, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton, 287 Iyannough Road (Route 132), Hyannis. REGISTER HERE

The nonprofit organization was formed to bring together women to build relationships professionally and personally, through networking, education and personal development, whether members are in business or transition.

Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month, with networking starting at 5:30 p.m., followed by the dinner meeting at 6 p.m. Each meeting features a guest speaker, Member Spotlight and networking opportunities. Members are free to bring information about their business to display.

April’s featured topic, “Love Local: Why Thinking Local First Matters to Our Community (and how you can make a difference), will be presented by Amanda Converse (Shift Eco Boutique, The Current Quarterly, Ebb + Flow), Jen Villa (The Little Beach Gallery, The Local Juice, The West End), and Kate Sheehan (Telltale Media), founders of LoveLiveLocal.

LoveLiveLocal is a community-based lifestyle brand and advocacy organization. Its mission is to provide a fresh perspective on year-round Cape Cod living, for locals and visitors, and advocate supporting independent, locally owned and operated businesses year-round. Through monthly email updates, three annual LoveLocal Fests, seasonal LoveListenLocal programming in Hyannis Harbor, and an annual print publication – The CapeMade Field Guide, LoveLiveLocal encourages people to think local first and to engage actively in creating the Cape Cod community they want to live in.

The April Member Spotlight will be Laura and Simone Pereira, owners of Elburne, a Dennis furniture and home design store using reclaimed, recycled, and sustainable materials.

Fundraising at the meetings and special events go toward CCWA’s philanthropic efforts, which include scholarships, member benefits and funding for nonprofit initiatives undertaken by members. Cape Cod Foundation will help manage CCWA’s funds.

Nonmembers are always welcome to attend as guests at any meeting.

The dinner meeting is $28 for members and $35 for nonmembers. REGISTER HERE
