Reading-North Reading Chamber Celebrates Women in Business and Entertainment

The Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce is hosting their 6th Annual “Women Celebrating” business expo fundraiser on May 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the Boston/Woburn Hilton Hotel in Woburn.

Thirty-five vendors selling items such as handbags, jewelry and clothing will attend. Food from local restaurants such as Horseshoe Grille, Not Your Average Joe’s, Bertucci’s and more will be available. The event will feature musical entertainment as well as a Zumba dance performance.

At the event, local salons Axle Color Studio, Salon 77, Embelleish, Salon Muffie, and Primp at Tiffany’s will each choose a woman to receive a free makeover. 

If you would like to donate to Boston Marathon victims, stop by the “Squishin’ Booth” from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. to meet the blind Golden Retriever puppy named Ray Charles. Make a donation and give the puppy a "squish." All proceeds will go to the Stoneham marathon bombing Victims.

The event is sponsored by The Savings Bank, K.S. Financial, BrightStar Care, Aine’s Boutique, Burbank YMCA, Reading Gymnastics Academy, Reading Cooperative Bank, The Jewelry Vault and Slumber Parties by Judy LH.
