CBIC Afterhours Passport Series #3 Featuring France

Salut!

In case you missed our popular Italian debut in August 2011, followed by our Germany event in November, you're still in time to hop aboard the third in the series!!

CBIC and SPEAK! Language Center have, once again, partnered to bring the world to Charlottesville's innovative tech and entrepreneurial crowd - a "staycation" of sorts for the with food, wine, music, travel-related tips and trivia and prizes all while mingling with a globally-savvy professional networking crowd!

In addition to enjoying French food from Restaurant Pomme and a variety of French wines from the Market Street Wine Shop, participants will take in sights and sounds and learn about the French business culture and language, advancing their international relation skills!

Also, guests who attended the first or second event received a "passport" (bring your passport with you to receive your next stamp!). Those who attend all 3 in the series will be entered into a special drawing for a grand prize; a $250 WishWishUSA experience of your choice...for example a balloon ride, fly fishing trip, gourmet dinner at home...so many choices!

Guests who attend any of the 3 Passport Series events will be entered into a drawing for a $50 WishWishUSA experience of your choice like Play On! Theater tickets, wine tasting, dancing lessons, etc.

You won't need to pack your bags for this mini-vacation, but you will want to RSVP in advance as there are a limited number of seats aboard this party cruise, so to SPEAK!
