Happy Weekend ONEin3ers!

Hey all you stylin’ yet frugal ONEin3ers, we have the perfect event for you.
On November 18th, our friends at Swapaholics will be posted up at 24 Bromfield Street doing some serious swapping to get the holiday shopping season started right. And afterward, head to Silvertone to join our other good friends from The Second Glass for a good winey time.
Some highlights:
Bring a Bag, Get a Bag:
Bring a bag full of all those like-new and gently worn clothes, shoes, accessories, and jewelry just taking up space in your closet and trade them in for a new bag full of fashionable finds from your fellow stylish Bostonians — all for just the cost of admission!
Get a Head Start on Holiday Bargain Shopping:
Grab exclusive discounts from Downtown Crossing shops & restaurants a week before the holiday sale season!
Show Off Your Swap Style:
Take pictures with your friends and all your new favorite scores in our Swap.com Style Photo Booth. Post them to Facebook or Twitter with the hashtag #DTXSwap to @Swap or @TheSwapaholics, or both!
Feel Good & Do Good:
$1 from every ticket goes to support Project Place, plus all the clothing left over at the end of the swap will be donated to Goodwill Boston!
Keep the Swap Party Going!
Join Swap.com, The Swapaholics & our friends at Second Glass at Silvertone across the street post-swap for sipping, noshing, and sharing swap stories!
Date: Thursday, November 18th

Location: 24 Bromfield Street, Downtown Crossing
Entrepreneurs…we have a very exciting competition to tell you about. We hope you’ll all get in the game.
This past May, Mayor Thomas M. Menino announced a partnership with Spencer Trask Collaborative Innovations (STCI) to create a $25,000 challenge for startups to move or expand in Boston’s Innovation District called…wait for it…The Innovation District Welcome Home Challenge.
The Challenge invites businesses to compete by promoting their business or business plan on a web-based forum. And here’s the kicker:
The public (entrepreneurs, innovators, stakeholders, the general public, funders and organizations) gets to vote on the submissions, supporting the ones they think best fit the Innovation District!
Boston will be the first city – and second government entity – to use this platform. The winning submission will receive a $25,000 prize to locate in the Innovation District; if that business is already in the Innovation District, the funding can be used for that business to grow.
Want to pitch your start-up business or vote on ideas? Create an account at Vencorps.com and enter the Innovation District Welcome Home Challenge.
