Please join us for the kickoff event of one of the most dynamic new organizations in Chicago, the International Volunteer Network of Chicago (www.IVNC.org). The focus of IVNC is to involve and inform business professionals and Chicago's diplomatic corps on community service and volunteerism opportunities by hosting unique networking events that feature select charitable organizations. On Wednesday, February 3rd from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. we will be hosting our kickoff event at the Chicago Cultural Center’s Preston Bradley Hall. At this event we will highlight volunteer opportunities as they relate to literacy, both in Chicago and abroad by spotlighting Open Books (www.open-books.org), UNICEF (www.unicefusa.org). Chicago HOPES (www.chicagohopes.org) and The Little City Foundation (www.littlecity.org). Tickets for the kickoff event are now available by visiting https://www.ivnc.org/shop/. The cost to attend is $35.00 in advance and $45.00 at the door and will cover your entrance to the event as well as food and drink provided by Cork Catering.

In keeping with our focus on literacy, we ask you to bring any new or used books as IVNC will host a Book Exchange. At the Book Exchange you can take home books that others have brought and the books that are leftover will be donated to local literacy organizations. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to discuss. We look forward to seeing you on February 3rd! Thank You - Ed Graziano (ed@ivnc.org) & Don Garner (don@ivnc.org)
