Dinner Meetings
The OBWA monthly dinner meetings are an opportunity for women to get to know other women in business in our area. A half-hour of networking before dinner, with optional bar service, gives members time to create invaluable business contacts and make new friends, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Regular dinner meetings are the second Wednesday of every month at the Highwayman Inn, 201 Woodside Dr., Orillia. Networking begins at 5:30 p.m., dinner is at 6:30 p.m. Following dinner a guest speaker informs and entertains the group for approximately 1/2 hour to an hour.
After dinner and dessert, members relax with a coffee and listen to our guest speaker. The executive selects speakers who may have information pertinent to running a business, provide services in the area, or simply entertain the group – often a combination of all three!
Meal cost for Members is $25.00, and $35.00 for Guests.
Dinner reservations are necessary.
Call our RSVP line at 705.325.6292 or email obwa@orilliabusinesswomen.com for reservations or cancellations by 12:00 noon on the Monday prior to the meeting. In most cases, members will be telephoned the week prior to the dinner meeting to confirm attendance.
