INC-Branding-5
Dear Friends,

“November: The last month of autumn, but the beginning of a new adventure;
time to take a risk and do the unexpected.”
— unknown

If you joined us at our November monthly meeting you will know that we were indeed treated to the unexpected gifts of such talent hidden within our own INC community.
It was truly magical.

Fear not dear reader, If you didn't manage to make that event, we still have some wonderful activities to join before December is upon us.

Also this week our very own talented blog editor Susannah Grant speaks to an INC member Kelly Pietrangeli who talks about how she went from Johnny Depp´s Press Assistant to international Entrepreneur.

Keep scrolling to see what awaits you and don't forget to save the date for the INC Christmas Finale, I heard a rumour that it is going to be.... (in the words of Zsa Zsa Gabor)....... 'fabulous darling!'

Thank as always for being with us.

Your eNews editor.

MESSAGE FROM THE

VICE PRESIDENT TEAM

Untitled design (4)
Wow – INC has talent! A huge thank you to all who were able to attend last week’s event – you made our vision a reality and our community a little closer. It was truly a day of “friends giving” and such a successful collaboration from so many of you – it was more than we could have imagined and we are truly grateful to you all!

We would like to once again give a shout out to our talented artists who presented and sold their creations in the static display area:
Loreto Saura, Claudine Kloetzli, Titane Fait Main, Catherine Fenton, Lisi Fracchia Jewelry, Marjorie Kantor and Cristina Barbi.

We also give our appreciation to our artist performers of the event: Fernanda Guevara, Marjorie Kantor, Claudia Garcia, Jen Lopez, Holly Roberts and Stacy Viva.

Last, but certainly not least, our day was completed with various cultural delights courtesy of the generous contributions from: Malin Garemo, Nobuko Crook, Christina Barbi, Carla Capaccioni, Lyndall Briggs, Elaine Samson and Jo Ball.

The beauty of the day was a result of the eclectic spirits that only an international network can bring – our hearts are full!

Well as they say, “the show doesn’t stop there…” we now shift gears and head straight into December’s event:

Tinsel Time – Madrid Skyline – and Sparkle!

Details are still in the works but we can promise you these things:
an event space that shimmers and shines high above the streets below – jaw dropping views of the four seasons as well as close eyes on the statues that grace the skies from above – sparkly delights to warm the coldest of wintery days – and of course – festive cheer that only INC can deliver.

It is an event that you won’t want to miss so please save the date:

Tuesday December 13th 10:30am - 1:00pm.

Your VP Team
Vicky and Tina

MENINA MANIA CHALLENGE

WITH VICKY H

menina

Tuesday November 22nd

10:45 am - 1:00 pm

The Meninas are back! Now in its fifth year, this open-air museum pays homage to the famed Spanish Painter Diego Velázquez and one of his painting masterpieces: Las Meninas.

Vicky, our Vice President Team member will take us to this great fun experience! “For three years now, INC has joined the hunt to find the various meninas that are scattered throughout the streets of Madrid.

This is my second year leading the quest, but this is not your ordinary search and find however, but rather, a group challenge with a task!”
We will meet at the Plaza Independencia and will divide into groups. Your full mission will then be explained as you receive a list related to the lovely meninas in the vicinity.

Answer the questions, seek the related Meninas and complete all tasks in the fastest time.

Will your group be crowned 2022 Menina Champions?
Join us for a fun and cultural experience!

***EXTRA EXTRA*** Last year we burned a lot of energy walking (running!) through the streets so this year we are offering an optional brunch for those who wish to stay a little longer.

Fenix Restro Bar (https://fenixrestobar.es/index.php/carta/) offers a delicious brunch option for €22; please let us know if you would like to join for the brunch when you RSVP!

Meeting Point: Cappuccino Pl. de la Independencia, nº 5, 28001
We will meet there at 10:45 and start at 11:00 Metro: Retiro (L2), Serrano (L4) Local Train (Cercanías): Madrid-Recoletos
