December 3-6, 2009 marks the 9th annual Whistler Film Festival. This year, for the very first time, the Whistler Film Festival VIP Lounge + Studio will feature a “Charity Bloggers Lounge”.  Vancouver-based Uptown GiftBox Company is creating the event, on the heels of the incredibly successful Canadian Country Music Awards Backstage Lounge they presented at GM Place in September. Known for her support of independent Canadian brands, owner Gabrielle Durning's unique approach was a big draw for festival organizers as the Whistler Film Festival is synonymous with independent filmmaking and will showcase over 80 films including a record number of premieres.

The 2009 Whistler Film Festival Charity Bloggers Lounge will host local bloggers who will be onsite covering the event live via their blog and social media such as Facebook and Twitter, giving the ‘Twitterverse’ an insider’s peek into an invitation-only event. Each blogger will select a charity and in turn, that charitable organization will receive one of the fabulous VIP Gift bags for their own fundraising efforts. With an estimated VIP Gift bag value of at least $1,000.00, this charitable component of the Whistler Film Festival ensures that this type of event leaves behind a charitable footprint, and provides some benefits to those less fortunate.

The Enterprising Moms Network is very proud to announce that our organization has been chosen as one of those to take part in the 2009 Whistler Film Festival’s Charity Bloggers Lounge! Eileen Fisher, who is the chapter director of our Fraser Valley chapter, will be in Whistler on Friday December 4th, blogging and tweeting LIVE from the 2009 Whistler Film Festival. We have chosen the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation as the recipient of our VIP Gift bag and are delighted to help them with their fundraising efforts in the “Campaign for BC Children”.

Taking part in an event such as this definitely draws a correlation between the business of being a mompreneur and connecting with community. It also shows moms in business the strength in social media, and how important it is to incorporate elements such as blogging into your business. For the Enterprising Moms Network to be able to take part in the 2009 Whistler Film Festival’s Charity Bloggers Lounge while giving back to the community by way of the $1,000.00 VIP Gift bag donation to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, is absolutely an honor and a privilege. 

So please follow us on Twitter and Facebook, bookmark the EMN blog, and check it all afternoon on Friday December 4th. We have no idea what to expect, who we will meet, or what we will be writing about, but one thing is for sure – when we do, Enterprising Moms will be the first to know!
