A Devine Celebration
Celebrating 50 Years of the Southeastern Connecticut Women's Network
For five decades, the Southeastern Connecticut Women's Network has been bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to build meaningful connections, foster professional growth, and make a lasting impact throughout Southeastern Connecticut.
Now, it's time to celebrate this extraordinary milestone.
Join us on Friday, November 6, 2026, for A Devine Celebration, an elegant evening honoring the Network's rich history, celebrating its vibrant present, and looking ahead to an exciting future. Hosted at the beautiful The Spa at Norwich Inn (607 West Thames Street, Norwich, CT), this golden anniversary gala promises an unforgettable experience.
The evening begins with a cocktail reception, where guests will enjoy an array of delicious passed hors d'oeuvres while reconnecting with longtime friends, making new connections, and celebrating the remarkable community that has flourished over the past 50 years. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.
Guests will then be treated to the Inn's exquisite Tuscan Sunset Buffet, featuring a thoughtfully prepared selection of seasonal favorites in an elegant dining setting.
Following dinner, dance the night away as DJ James O'Grady provides the soundtrack for an evening filled with celebration, laughter, and memories. Throughout the night, we'll reflect on the vision of our founders, recognize the incredible individuals who have helped shape the Network over the past five decades, and celebrate the friendships, partnerships, and achievements that continue to inspire us today.
Whether you're a longtime member, a current supporter, an alumni member, or someone discovering the Network for the first time, we invite you to be part of this once-in-a-generation celebration. Together, we'll honor the legacy of those who came before us while raising a glass to the next 50 years of empowering professionals, strengthening our community, and creating lasting connections.
Individual tickets are $100 per person and include admission to the celebration, cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvres, the Tuscan Sunset Buffet, entertainment, and an evening of unforgettable memories. Seating is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your tickets early.
Join us as we celebrate where we've been, embrace where we are, and toast to an exciting future.
Here's to 50 years of connection, collaboration, and community. We look forward to celebrating with you at A Devine Celebration!

SILENT AUCTION DONATION FORM
On behalf of the Southeastern Connecticut Women’s Network, I am reaching out to invite you to be part of a very special milestone—our 50th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, November 6, 2026, at The Spa at Norwich Inn.
As we celebrate 50 years of empowering women through networking, education, and philanthropy, one of the highlights of our evening will be a silent auction to support our scholarship and community initiatives. We are currently seeking donations of items, experiences, or services to help make this portion of the event both exciting and impactful.
Your contribution to our silent auction is a meaningful way to showcase your business while supporting a mission dedicated to uplifting women in our community. Popular items in past auctions have included gift baskets, dining or spa experiences, event tickets, services, and unique one-of-a-kind offerings—but we welcome and appreciate donations of all kinds.
As a valued donor, your business will be recognized in event materials and signage, as well as among our engaged audience of members, professionals, and community leaders. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain visibility while contributing to a cause that makes a lasting difference.
If you are interested in donating, please let us know and we will be happy to coordinate item details and arrangements. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our 50th Anniversary celebration. We are truly grateful for your generosity and partnership.
