The Seoul International Women’s Association (SIWA) will host a Working Women’s Network “Mingling Night” dinner party at Suji’s restaurant in Itaewon today.
SIWA is Seoul’s premier international women’s organization, consisting of women from more than 40 countries, including about 25 percent from Korea. For more than 50 years, SIWA has been a place where women from around the world can meet, find friends, learn about each other’s cultures, and improve the lives of those less fortunate in Korea.
One of the most important things SIWA does is to contribute to Korean society through its biggest fundraiser, the Diplomatic and Cultural Bazaar, and it has contributed more than 2 billion won ($1.7 million) to Korean charities over the years. SIWA also offers an extensive number of tours to cultural, artistic and recreational experiences.
“In order to spread the spirit of goodwill and happiness we look forward to your participation. We hope you will take part in the Working Women’s Network to make it a great success,” states the website.
The event is from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
To get to Suji’s Restaurant, take subway line 6 to Noksapyeong Station, leave via exit 3 and walk to the pedestrian crossing light. Cross the street and Suji’s is just a few feet from the corner. Look for the menu-board on the sidewalk. Suji’s is on the second floor of the building.
From Itaewon Station, leave exit 4 and walk toward Noksapyeong Station.
