About
Monthly dinner meetings
We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at the CHB Municipal Theatre, 18 Kenilworth St, Waipawa, at 6.00pm. We mingle for pre-dinner drinks for half an hour, and then enjoy a two course dinner. We invite a range of guest speakers to keep us informed of local matters and areas of interest to women. The cost for the evening is $25.00. We are a welcoming and friendly group – if you would like to come along to a dinner meeting to find out more then please send an email to bpw.chb@gmail.com with your contact number.
Monthly newsletter
Our club sends out an informative newsletter every month which we also publish on our facebook page – CHB Business & Professional Women. Follow the page on facebook to see the newsletter or send an email to bpw.chb@gmail.com if you would like to be added to our mailing list.
