Michele Maheux, Executive director and chief operating officer of TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) was named one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women today in The Women’s Executive Network’s yearly look at the top 100 achievers in Canada’s private, public and not-for-profit sectors. Lucky for us, Michele will be joining us at this year’s Gratitude Tea. Not only will she be participating in the afternoon event but she graciously donated her time and wisdom to an auction item this year. We can now share with you that one of the items up for grabs in this year’s silent auction will be a lunch with Michele at Oliver and Bonacini’s LUMA at TIFF Bell Lightbox. With her wealth of knowledge of the film and television sectors and her nearly 30 years work experience in private and governmental organizations, this would be a great opportunity for anyone looking to gain insight into working for a cultural organization or moving up the corporate ladder.

What Gratitude Tea(m)mate Anne is Loving Right Now

December 1st, 2011 by melissa

What’s at the top of Anne’s Christmas wishlist? A nice bottle of bubbly, preferably shared with friends over great conversations.

As part of the organizing team, Anne’s quick wit makes her our go-to wordsmith and she also makes a mean garlic bread. This PR gal has her finger on the pulse when it comes to food, fun and fashion.

If she could be any flavour of tea, she would be: peppermint. Why? Because it’s just that cool.



Barefoot Bubbly Moscato Spumante from E. & J. Gallo Winery, 750mL. $13.50 from the LCBO.

While purusing through the aisles of an antique shop in Fenelon Falls on the weekend I came across these four gorgeous English tea cups. Centerpiece inspiration!

At a recent Moroco Chocolat outing I noticed the dazzling display of macarons with an Alice in Wonderland theme. It just looks too good to eat!
