Next Startup Drinks Montreal: February 24, 2010

Haiti Tweetup in Waterloo

by Dan Silivestru

Raymond Luk and the gang in Montreal have decided to not sit on the side lines and do something to help with the relief efforts in Haiti. We think it’s a great initiative and so we’re putting on a sister event here in Waterloo to try and raise money to help those in need in that earthquake torn region. Here are the details:

We’re holding a meetup/Tweetup in Waterloo to raise funds for earthquake disaster relief in Haiti. All proceeds will be donated to the International Red Cross (http://www.icrc.org/).Tickets are free but we strongly encourage you to donate at least $10 at the door.

There will be a cash bar and we’re lining up door prizes and raffle prizes.

  • First 15 people with donations, get car wash tokens from Waterloo Honda (@waterloohonda)
  • Waterloo Honda is also providing several swag items, a tool/bar kit, and a free Oil and Lube.
  • McMullan’s is our gracious host and they’re also throwing in a “pool party” raffle prize (access to 3 pool tables, including 3 free pizzas)

Whether you’re part of the Kitchener Waterloo tech community or not, please come on out and tell your friends. On Twitter use #haitikwtweetup.

Facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=260440014472&index=1

GuestListApp event here: http://guestlistapp.com/events/12648

If you or you company would like to donate an item to be raffled off or as a door prize, please contact us on twitter @tinyhippos or @confusement (Dan Silivestru) or through the wall on the Facebook Event.

Lets try and make a difference!

Startup Drinks Waterloo – recap

by Dan Silivestru

This is a little late coming, but I wanted to take a minute and recap the Waterloo event from Jan 4th.

We had a great turn out of almost 35 people. Met some great new people and had a chance to catch up with some of the regulars as well. The place was absolutely packed due to the Canada Vs. USA hockey game, but we made due :-)

Here are a few pictures from the event: (Special thanks to @cuteGecko for bringing a camera!)
