#CruzeCity – A Silly Fun Break from Reality this Week (still spots if you wish to join in)

Kicking back with a glass of pumpkin ale, after a silly fun morning booting around town in a race car red 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, partaking in the awesomely silly #CruzeCity car rally as a part of #TeamSTYLE. Took me back to the days of my first car, a Chevette Hatchback, only this was 10x fancier and more stylish, yet we behaved just as ridiculously in it as we did in our early 20s. My gal pal, Wendy Dallian, was the somewhat responsible driver and I the highly irresponsible tweet or twit in the car (just the way I like it).

We had a blast and won this mornings VanCity competition for #TeamSTYLE.  Met a couple of great competitors from #TeamGlobal, who kindly didn’t bite, pinch or pull hair and are new to twitter, @afindlayashton. Show them some tweet love and follow them.  They had a valiant Day 1 in the space.

A few VanCity tweeters expressed an interest in partaking themselves and as luck would have it you still can.  They have room for more teams to compete between now and Friday October 22, 2010. More details here: http://chevroletcitychallenge.ca/ or you can tweet Betsy the VanCity Coordinator directly.  Hope you have as much fun as we did!  And don’t forget to be asked to be put on our team, #TeamSTYLE.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

Who’s Coming to Dinner?

Discovered this soirée as I was trying to decide where best to donate my money to, to help the people of Haiti.  What a lovely idea and wonderful fundraiser that Cru restaurant is putting together!

Cru Restaurant will be hosting Haiti Earthquake Relief Fundraising Dinner Jan 31, 2010. 100% of the proceeds from the event will be donated to relief efforts in Haiti. Every dollar makes a difference and now it will double in impact due to a generous contribution from the Canadian Government.
