SeaMo is pleased to announce January’s Microfinance and Microbrews at The Pike Brewery (1415 1st Ave, Seattle) on Thursday, January 15th beginning at 5:30pm. This month we are featuring Casey Wilson, the Co-Founder and CEO of Wokai, a new peer-to-peer microfinance lending platform focused on the Chinese market. Casey will be talking about the nuances of microfinance in China.

Microfinance and Microbrews is a once-every-other-month gathering to learn more about microfinance and to meet others who are interested too. There is a $5 suggested donation at the door to help cover the cost of appetizers.

Washington CASH is a local microenterprise and business development training organization that serves low-income individuals here in the Puget Sound area.

Tomorrow afternoon, Washington CASH is having their 8th annual Holiday Bazaar! 30 of Washington CASH’s clients will be displaying and selling their items throughout the day. There will be a great variety of products and services including hand crafted items, food products, professional services and household items. All of the vendors at the Bazaar have started their businesses with the help of Washington CASH’s services - and many of them have seen advancements in their businesses through the help of microloans.

This is a great opportunity to not only do some christmas shopping, but to support your local businesses…and your local microenterprise organization!
