Join Jewish B2B Networking's annual "Fun Evening of Business Networking" at Whirly Ball in Vernon Hills

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Shalom Klein

Jewish B2B Networking will have the run of WhirlyBall! A fun evening of business networking (Kosher food will be served)!

Thursday, August 22, 2013 – 6:00pm – 8:00pm

285 Center Drive

Vernon Hills, IL 60061

Event Cost:

$10, payable at the door via cash or credit card

WhirlyBall Vernon Hills is full service, multi-dimensional team building and private party venue unique to Chicagoland. WhirlyBall Vernon Hills offers not only the great game of WhirlyBall, but also the next generation of LASERTRON and a realistic five station, rock-faced Climbing Wall.

WhirlyBall is a combination of lacrosse, hockey, basketball and a good dose of demolition derby. Simply, it involves driving bumper cars while using hand-held open scoops to pass and propel wiffle balls at a scoring target. Since WhirlyBall is a “new” sport everyone will have the same skill level (or lack thereof) making it all the more fun. A referee keeps the score and penalizes if necessary.

With four unique areas and over 24,000 square feet in Vernon Hills, WhirlyBall can accommodate groups of 10 to 500. A former nightclub, WhirlyBall also boasts dynamic sound and lighting, top of the line audio-visual capabilities and full service bars. Whether you are hosting a corporate event, surprise party, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, graduation, block (or neighborhood) party or couples shower, there is no other venue quite like it.

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Shalom Klein
