Breakfast Club!

Dress for Success Vancouver has proudly launched the pilot of its 4th program, the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club provides jobseekers the opportunity to meet weekly, over the course of 15 weeks, to learn, support each other and find suitable employment.

We are nearly into third week of the program, having covered "Beliefs, Values and Assumptions", as well as " Active Listening Expert Recruiters, a local recruitment firm, has donated their boardroom and breakfast goodies for this pilot program.

Each week, for about an hour and a half, the participants engage in discussion and presentation on different topics by different presenters. The first few weeks have been facilitated by Kathy Taberner, professional coach, and past Dress for Successs Vancouver board member.

Vancouver's affiliate of Dress for Success is the first to launch the Breakfast Club outside of the US!

Canucks Live to Give Day!

We were so fortunate to have three Canucks employees join us last Wednesday, November 10th as part of their Live to Give Day, where staff go out into the community and help local charities. For The past three years, the employees from the Canucks have worked with our organization, sorting through mountains of clothing and helping us prepare for events.

This year, Nicole, Elroy and Mike sorted through clothing, pulling out clothing in preparation for the PWG's "Get Ready for the Holidays" Party as well as set up for a seminar that the Career Centre was putting on that night.

"I was 42-years old, in phenominal shape and all set to run a half-marathon. My five-year-old business was taking off, and a spicy romance added sparkle to my day. My life was full, thriving and packed with fun. But, within three months and independant of eachother, the romance ended, I underwent emergency heart surgery and I closed down my beloved business. I call this time in my life "The Crumble"..." -- Christine Monaghan, Author HeartBroke

She IS a gold digger!

Volunteer Christina and her co-worker Patrick celebrate Halloween in style.

Every year we get a few things that just aren't meant for the workplace. Including the gold leggings and sweater modeled by DFS Vancouver volunteer Christina. Luckily, she found a purpose for them at her company Halloween party, where she won first prize in the costume contest for her "Gold Digger" ensemble. Congrats, Christina! Looking glam!

Happy Halloween!
