FastLane - Wine in the City

FastLane held its forth event of 2009 on May 26th at BLU Ristorante & Lounge on Yorkville Avenue, and this month’s theme was wine in the city.

Guests participated in a wine and chocolate tasting in a relaxing environment. There were many chances to meet people of all different professions, as well as the opportunity to learn about the different wines of the world and how to pair them with foods.

We had amazing wine tastings provided by Adriatic Coast, Authentic Wine and Spirits, Black Prince Winery, Kacaba Winery and TreAmici Imports. Incredible Chocolate pairings provided by Daniel Le Chocolat Belge and SOMA.



It was a great tasting experience with the opportunities of networking with a variety of professionals. We hope to see you all at our next event!

Ga-la-licious

Ga-la-licious, Nightwood's annual fundraiser, returned for its third year, on Thursday April 30th at The Courthouse.

All of the proceeds benefited Canadian women artists. Funds raised through the event went directly to the creation of new works by female artists, free youth programs for girls and enables Nightwood to keep on developing and producing plays.

It was a great success!
A lot of fun, great food, entertainment and silent auctions :)
We look forward to next year’s event!

FastLane "In The Community"

FastLane held its third event of 2009 on April 21st at Kultura on King Street East, and this month’s theme was focused on community service. Special partner for the event was the United Way of Toronto’s GenNext, who engages young professional Torontonians in their 20s and 30s who want to make a difference in their community.

We had other great features: The ever popular speed networking was back! Redroom Records performed their very own written and produced music. Oh So Cosmo with Josie Dye from Cosmo TV was there with us to cover the event; she was exploring new places, events and ways to meet men!



Another unique guest was IBfrank, a mobile grooming service targeting men (they also offer mini spa services for women). The ever-popular HiTech Tattoos were there to engrave people’s cell phones and mp3 players.

We had so much fun and met great people! Hope to see you all soon!
