3rd Annual Thanksgiving Networking Mixer & Food Drive

NAAAP Boston is proud to announce an extra special networking event on November 21st. We're hosting our 3rd annual Thanksgiving networking mixer and food drive in honor of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, and we're inviting some of Boston's brightest and most compassionate—you!—to join us. Over the last two years, we've donated almost 200 food items to the Friday Night Supper Program. Come meet a great group of community-minded professionals and help break last year's donation record! It's an amazing way to start the holiday season.

The Mixer This is a great opportunity to expand your network. Attendance averages 75 to 100 people, so you're bound to make new acquaintances and have great conversations. Whether you're new to Boston, new to NAAAP, a company in need of talent, or looking for employment opportunities, your time here will be well spent. In addition to meeting fellow professionals, you'll get a chance to meet our NAAAP Boston leaders and learn how to get involved.

Dress code: Business to business casual. Don't forget your business cards!
The Cause: Friday Night Supper Program

Guests come from different backgrounds and include those coping with AIDS, mental illness, or substance abuse; the elderly; the disabled; abused women; and homeless or unemployed individuals. Anyone in need of a meal is welcome. Learn more about Friday Night Supper Program at www.fridaynightsupper.org.
