Frans & Janis Wedding Tweetup/Meetup/Bash

Please join us and help us celebrate our wedding!


Although our wedding February 12th will be a very small family affair, we want to celebrate our marriage with all of our friends who have been such a fabulous and wonderful part of both of our lives!

We hope you can attend our celebration at a Tweetup/Meetup/Bash on Thursday, February 17, at 7PM at The Bard & Banker Pub, 1022 Government Street. We have reserved the entire upper-floor so that we can fit in as many people as possible. (cash bar)

We look forward to seeing you there, to help us celebrate and be able to share our moment with you!

(In lieu of gifts we are accepting donations to The BC Cancer Foundation. All donations of $10 or more will receive a signed copy of this year's Babes Go Bare Calendar. The BC Cancer Foundation is special to us as we were able to raise close to $10,000 dollars for them this past August as part of The Road to Port Hardy charity bike ride.)

See you there on February 17th!

Love,


Frans and Janis

Victoria Tweetups Aug 9 - 15th

It's a busy week in Victoria, BC for tweetups. There are simply too many to mention in a single tweet. 

 

Wednesday August 11th noon join Dan Parks @cpudan and Sean Dhillon @I_lend_Money for the weekly 4Square High Noon Hump Day Tweetup. This week  the group meets at Ric's Grill 910 Government Street. If you are a fan of mobile apps, FourSquare and the rest - this group is for you.

Thursday August 12th 8am join Janis La Couvée @lacouvee and an awesome group of local Victoria twitterers for our semi-monthly am #Victoriatweetup at Cabin 12 Restaurant @Cabin12Victoria 607 Pandora Avenue.  We meet on the 2nd Thursday and 4th Wednesday of the month. Everyone is welcome. Lots of great conversations, and a chance to develop connections with other solopreneurs, business owners, professionals and community members. This tweetup was started in May 2010 as the result of a conversation between Dan Parks, Catherine Novak @Wordspring and Janis La Couvée. Twitter was fairly new in Victoria; it was and continues to be a place for people to take their online connections offline to connect face to face.

Thursday August 12th 1pm #YYJBleeders tweetup. Meet at the Canadian Blood Services 3449 Saanich Road (close to the intersection with Douglas Street). Carlone Leon @VicCityParty recently gave blood and suggested this tweetup. Blood donations are always down in the summer, the need is always up. If you are able to give blood, please consider coming. Check here first for the criteria Can I Donate? and then contact Janis La Couvée @lacouvee to ensure a time is booked for you.

Thursday August 12th 7pm  Bard and Banker Scottish Pub. Join Frans Jonker @fransjonker for The Road to Port Hardy Tweetup. Frans departs August 16th for a 4 day 525 km solo charity bike ride (Victoria to Port Hardy) to raise funds for the BC Cancer Foundation. More information about the ride can be found on his website The Road to Port Hardy or by following his tweets @roadtoporthardy.  Let's send Frans off in style, with our support. Awesome door prizes courtesy of Rocky Mountain Soap (with thanks to Scott McDonald @FootButterGuy), Liquor Plus (thanks Rod Phillips @Rod_Phillips), Trotac Marine, and Janis La Couvée @lacouvee.

Saturday August 14th join Jason Whyte, @jasonwhyte e-film critic, for a movie tweetup to see The Expendables. 1:30pm at Empire Capitol 6

Saturday August 14th TBD join Yukari Peerless @yukarip and other fans of the book Eat Pray Love for the EPLTweetup. See the movie with Julia Roberts, followed by a bite to eat afterwards. Contact Yukari for more details.
