Serendipity Winery & DinnerPartyYVR are the perfect pairing

serendipity dpyvrOn Saturday, April 9, 2016, Serendipity Winery will support the charitable DinnerPartyYVR (#DPYVR) for the fourth consecutive year. The Naramata winery is generously donating their BC VQA wine to simultaneously-hosted dinner parties across Vancouver with over 500 anticipated home cooks and diners. 100% of ticket sales from each dinner is donated to a charity of the hobby chefs’ choice. To date, Serendipity has helped participating hobby chefs raise more than $30,000 for charities across BC. Founded in 2013, DinnerPartyYVR has connected hundreds of hobby chefs, diners, charities, and partners around dinner tables across Vancouver for great conservations, marvellous meals, and a whole lot of fun. This year, more hobby chefs than ever will be invited to host dinner parties in their homes while raising funds for their favourite charity. 100% of ticket sales are donated. After dinner, everyone gathers to celebrate at an after party featuring live entertainment, treats and more opportunities to mix and mingle with new friends and charity representatives.

What: DinnerPartyYVR (#DPYVR)

When: Saturday, April 9, 2016

Dinner: 6:00 - 8:00 pm with over 500 anticipated home cooks and diners

After Party: 8:30 - 11:00 pm @ location TBD

Meet Crystal Henrickson #withTownHall

By Leeann Froese It’s a new week to introduce you to one of the fabulous personalities in the world #withTownHall!

This does not mean they work as part of our team, or are our client (although sometimes they are).

We just interact with so many amazing people that we want to expand networks and introduce them to you, and you to them. This week #withTownHall, we introduce you to Crystal Henrickson.

Crystal Henrickson

Crystal wears many hats in her professional life, from instructing in Community Management at UBC to producing #DinnerPartyYVR, she has proven her ability to design and build communities from the ground up time and time again. Her background is equally as impressive; working at Chimp in community management and as the director of marketing and community at Yelp where she has been hailed as the "girl who brought Yelp to Canada". Crystal has cemented herself as a force to be reckoned with in the marketing and community development world.

When she is not launching exciting new communities, you can find Crystal in the kitchen cooking, relaxing with a book, or enjoying the outdoors.

With all of that said about Crystal, will you please help us give a big hello to her?
