A cheery Christmas evening for Donegal Women in Business

The Donegal Women in Business Network were in the festive spirit this evening for a fun end-of-year Christmas party. The virtual set-up didn’t stop us donning our festive wear to party with members all over the county and beyond.

Dee Byrne from Sliabh Liag Distillers got the festivities going with a live cocktail demonstration using Donegal’s own An Dulaman Gin and Assaranca Vodka. The expert demo was followed by a great round of goodwill. Guests won a fantastic range of spot prizes, kindly sponsored by members, while DWIBN PRO Evelyn Mc Glynn personally ensured that no guest left empty handed with a generous offering of her services at Evelyn Mc Marketing.

As with every Donegal Women in Business Network event, there were plenty of opportunities for networking… only this time, the introductions were made with Santa hats on!

The Donegal Women in Business Network enjoyed some exciting developments in 2021 – its 22nd year. The group was delighted to welcome a new network facilitator, Caitriona Sinnott, in September. Caitriona is already well-settled into her role, and has been busy meeting members and advancing the network through an enhanced partnership with the Local Enterprise Office.

The network has some more big changes, some great and some bittersweet, coming up in 2022. Stay tuned to their page for announcements.
