Event Description

Have you ever wondered how the Acumen Fund began? Pondered where the term 'patient capital' came from? Or maybe you're just out to meet cool people with similar interests in social enterprise?

Wonder no more! New readers and veterans alike are invited to join the San Francisco Chapter for an engaging book talk on The Blue Sweater on February 23rd, led by former Acumen Fund Fellows. We'll meet in the library of the beautiful University Club in downtown San Francisco and discuss The Blue Sweater over light appetizers and drinks.

All registrants for this event will receive the limited edition paperback copy of The Blue Sweater, a hand-crafted Acumen bookmark, access to an exclusive webinar with Jacqueline Novogratz, and a 10-page discussion guide. Only $10 for the whole package!

**UPDATE: New registrants will receive their books and materials in-person at the event, as there is no longer enough time for books to be shipped. Please register for this event by e-mailing chapter leader Jonathan Lai at jlai84@gmail.com

Thanks all and hope to see you at the talk!
