Liberty Social Hour’s Noche Caliente

Outside may have been freezing rain but things were heating up for the 7^th Liberty Village Social Hour, at Williams Landing! On Thursday Jan 26^th. Liberty Villagers bundled up and headed out to network, socialize and most importantly have fun!  Planned by Rod Ponce of RPC and Deb Lewis of CityEvents, Liberty Villagers were treated to a night of relaxation, amazing door prizes, and a signature Liberty Village cocktail courtesy of Williams Landing at Noche Caliente.  For one evening the January gloom melted away into the chic urban glamour of the neighborhoods’ hottest new restaurant. If you missed out on the action, the next Liberty Social Hour is in the works for April 2012.

The 100 or so guests ranged from young professionals enjoyed a post work signature Liberty Village cocktail, from marketing CEOs connecting,  to a retired couple out for an evening of fun. The attendees may have been varied but everyone had one thing in common: Liberty Village! Despite being the fastest growing district in Toronto Noche Caliente Liberty Social Hour perfectly captured the close-knit neighborhood spirit of the Village community.

Chatting with a six-year veteran of Liberty Village, Amelia Paddington, she filled us in on how she became a fixture at the Liberty Social hour. “My husband and I walked into the first one without a clue to what was going on and not knowing a soul, but by the end of the night we had met so many people, some of whom even lived in our building and we had never spoken to! It’s gotten so much bigger since that first social hour, but its community events like these that make me love where I live”.

Over 20 local businesses generously donated samples, gift cards, and coupons to promote the village and appreciate its residents. We would like to thank our wonderful sponsors: Williams Landing, Mercado, Vocado, Lust for Lashes, Portrait Dental, Dancelology, Brazen Head, Temple Kitchen, Bar Vespa, King West Fitness, Body Food, Magic Oven, Sell Off Vacations, The Floor Studio, Dining Date Night, Liberty Village Eye Care! Everyone left with a gift bag and a smile on their face.

Our wonderful photographers from CityEvents and RPC have posted all the glamour shots from the night at http://www.flickr.com/photos/cityeventstoronto and our video footage will be made available shortly! January may be the longest month of winter, but in Liberty Village they kicked the year off with a bang! Can’t wait for the next one!
