A big thank you to all our DC friends and family who joined us for our first reader event, the DC Summer Gathering on Sunday December 13, 2015.
It was a wonderful afternoon and so incredible to meet all of you in person, listen to our inspiring speakers and take some time out during the silly season.
I am so grateful for your attendance, contribution and feedback and very much look forward to seeing you all at our next event.
In the meantime, you can reminisce our Summer Gathering here with our official event photos, including product from our incredibly generous sponsors, all featured below.

P.s – I promised that 10% of the Summer Gathering ticket sales would be donated to a local Melbourne charity. I have donated those funds this evening to the Scarf Community who provide marginalised youth with hospitality knowledge, skills and experience. Our donation will be used for trainee support and program development.
