Neighborhood Parents Network Spring Silent Auction 5/1-5/5 and A Giveaway!

Some of you may remember reading about the Neighborhood Parents Network on my blog before. They are a GREAT community that has been around for 30 years and they are committed to joining families from around the city of Chicago in great get togethers, and learning sessions. The networking is fantastic, and the ability to talk to other parents from around the city in many member events is invaluable.

That’s why I’m so excited to be able to offer one of my readers this awesome experience for a year! Yep, that’s right, a full years membership for you and your family, just because you know me! And, well because NPN is awesome.

Before we get to the giveaway though, I would like to let you know about their annual silent auction that will be taking place later this year, starting May 1st. It’s a FANTASTIC collaboration between NPN and several vendors from the Chicagoland area. For those of you who love media releases, here ya go:

Offering $50,000 in items for Chicago families —from play spaces to kid classes, from photography sessions to sporting events and theatre tickets—the Neighborhood Parents Network of Chicago (NPN) presents its annual Silent Auction, the organization’s largest fundraiser.

Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to participate in NPN’s biggest online shopping event, open to the public. Businesses donate and promote their services/products to over 6,400 active members and 30,000 database contacts and social media audience. Parents shop and save by bidding on great deals for adults and kids in and around Chicago.  Funds raised through the annual Online Silent Auction benefit NPN’s programs and operations.
