During its holiday luncheon Tuesday, Dec. 14 at Enticing Cuisine Banquets, the Batavia Women in Business (BWIB) raised $1,605. The combination of money and donated gift cards was divided between the Batavia Access Toy Drive and the Batavia United Way’s Adopt A Family program. Additionally, attendees donated tables filled with new toys to the toy drive.

The BWIB council offers thanks to the 60 plus individuals who attended and all the businesses which donated to the multitudes of raffle baskets. The group’s next luncheon will take place in February 2022. The Batavia Women in Business is an active sub-group of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce.
