Rouge 2008


As many of you know - I am involved with GenNext’s ROUGE: MASQUERADE for United Way Toronto.

I would personally like to invite you to this amazing event on November 15th, 2008. This year we are being hosted again by The Suites at 1 King West!

For more information, visit the ROUGE website at www.unitedwaytoronto.com/rouge but here are the main points:


We have an amazing band, These Electric Lives, and DJs Famou$ Players in the main ballroom, with other special musical guests in a designated lounge. We are holding a Silent Auction with Leafs tickets, Raptors tickets, hotel stays in and around Toronto, spa and fitness packages... and MORE! Our silent auction theme this year is Silence Speaks Volumes as all proceeds go directly to United Way.

Our special silent auction items this year are dinners at Canoe Restaurant with 5 of Toronto’s top executives! Bid on quality one-on-one time with one of the following people:

Bill MacKinnon, CEO, KPMG
Robert Harding, Chairman, Brookfield Asset Management
Katie Taylor, President & COO, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts
Martine Irman, Vice Chair, Global Trading & Distribution, TD Securities
Adrian Montgomery, Vice President, Football, Rogers Communications

Again, the ticket price is only $35 and ALL the proceeds go to United Way Toronto!

I can't wait to see you at ROUGE on November 15th!


All the best,

Jodi
