Drinking on the Job?

Yesterday it was gambling on the job (click Here to read all about it).

Today, it was drinking on the job. HR, before getting too dramatic, this was all for charity.

Yes, we had a St. Patrick's Day fundraiser where staff made pancakes and served mimosas (so you can imagine how productive the rest of the day was).

And, very appropriate for the occasion, all was served in green. Here are some snap shots of the breakfast.

Pancakes from Mars?

Looking much more edible once cooked.

Even the champagne was coloured green.


All had fun and the company matched the funds raised. All proceeds are distributed across 4 charities chosen by employees: BC Children's Hospital, BC SPCA, Covenant House Vancouver and WAVAW.

Thanks for our chefs, grillers and bar tenders - it was a great way to kick off St. Patrick's Day celebration. Now time to go shopping for lamb and potatoes for the St. Patrick's Day dinner tomorrow. Tune back here soon to read all about that.

Disclaimer: Yes, I know pancakes include white flour and creamy milk and I should not eat it for lent. But I am sure JC would rather I help the needy than stick to my lent.
