December Morning Coffee: Cookie Exchange!
Just in time for the holidays!
The December BAIN Coffee will feature a holiday cookie exchange! If you would like to have an assortment of HOMEMADE baked goodies for your place for the holidays (if you can resist eating them all before then!), please join us for this event. If you’ve never been to a cookie exchange, the rules are simple:
1) Bring 2-3 dozen HOMEMADE cookies to the event (yes, that means you have to bake, not buy!),
2) Bring the recipe for your cookies to share with the rest of the group,
3) Those who bring cookies will be able to leave with an assortment of other people’s goodies
4) Enjoy!
The Morning Coffee/Cookie Exchange will be held on Tuesday, December 18 at 10:30am in Recoleta (address provided upon RSVP). If you are planning to join in the fun of the Cookie Exchange, please bring an extra dozen or so for sampling at the table while having your coffee. If this sounds like fun to you then please RSVP to our hostess, Milena Newhook at milenanewhook@gmail.com.
We hope you can join us!

Win a Night at the Home Hotel!
BAIN is excited to announce that there is yet another raffle prize up for grabs at our End of the Year Party this Wednesday, November 14 at Pur Sang in Recoleta. For those that attend the event, you can now win a one night stay at the Home Hotel in Palermo Hollywood complete with a welcome cocktail of your choice!
The Home Hotel opened in December 2005 and is the product of the union of an Argentine woman and her British husband. They designed and created a comfortable, fashionable space in Palermo that offers a luxury experience to all of its guests. The 20-bedroom hotel focuses on natural light, spacious rooms and adds the funk of colorful French vintage wallpaper. Their patio is a beautiful open space with a lovely pool and comfortable sitting area for those who want to enjoy a glass of wine in the open air.
Home may be intimate but it offers some big time treats such as a Spa offering ayurvedic treatments with organic products, a Resto-Bar offering breakfast, lunch and evening tapas with a carefully chosen wine list, signature cocktails, and a large range of frozen vodkas. The bar overlooks the 300 square-meter garden with a heated pool and deck area for sunbathing. Home is a hotel where you can escape from the city without ever having to leave it.
