About this Fabulous Event!
Ladies Night In presenting
Why men this year?We can continue to apply sticky bandages on intervention believing we are making a difference (and in some instances we are), however, we continue to witness the longer term effects of domestic violence on men too... Men are one-half of a family equation.
They too, need access to prevention services for them to begin to understand their role in family dysfunction and domestic violence and to provide them an opportunity to repair and or to build new relationships with their children and the mother’s of their children and to become the stewards of those relationships. |

In Memory of Melanie
|
This year we would like to take the opportunity to honour our dear friend and Ladies Night In committee member, Melanie Jane Terrett. She was a big part of Ladies Night In 2012 as our guest speaker, sharing her story, and as a committee member in 2013 & 2014. Mel was an active member of our community—always volunteering her time for good causes, as well as working with victim services supporting women going through challenging times. In her memory we are supporting the Tri Cities Transitions Society, as well as creating awareness around donating blood. Without blood, Mel would not have made it as far as she did, and she was very grateful for this. Mel was a fighter—an example to us all of a strong woman supporting strong women.
We released Butterflies at Ladies Night In for what would have been Mel's 42 birthday because Mel loved butterflies. They cheered her up when she was in the hospital. I know Mel will be so grateful for all the support and will be smiling down on us. If you would like to donate blood or learn more about donating blood please click below. |

A Little History...
1st. Annual LNI "A Night to Remember"
|
Ladies Night In began in 2011 when a Luxury Realtor, Andrea Jauck, wanted to showcase a luxury home she had just listed For Sale and decided to host a Party to create some buzz...
She contacted some girlfriends to help out along with some local businesses to create some marketing material and sell their jewelry and fashions and then they suggested putting on a fashion show and to make it a fundraiser by getting local Fire Fighters to come and sell raffle tickets and donate any money raised to women's BC Cancer Foundation. She then decided it needed a name and called it "Ladies Night In" a Night to Remember and it was a night to remember! |
2nd. Annual LNI with "Women, Wine & Shoes"
|
The second year Andrea contacted some of the ladies again to see if anyone wanted to join her... and one of the ladies, Lisa Marsden, a local business woman who owns & runs a creative design agency Egami Creative Agency here in Port Moody, said yes and provided the design of the Logo, Website, Marketing materials and Social Media Management and bringing the BC wineries serving wine tastings, the idea of the Sole-men carrying the shoes on silver trays, the glamorous fashion show and the market place of local boutiques for women to shop at.
Andrea thought it sounded great and they agreed to partner up and began the planning of the 2nd Annual Ladies Night with Women, Wine and Shoes. |
The event was a huge success!
The women loved it! Especially mingling with the Sole-men carrying the shoes on platters and the complimentary wine tasting from local BC wineries and all the fabulous boutiques to shop at!

Being able to put on an event that ladies love and in turn give back to our community has been so rewarding and so much fun and the turn out and feedback from the ladies was so great that they've been partnering up ever since!
Andrea Jauck & Lisa Marsden are the presenters and head volunteers for this fundraising event along with some help of some other fabulous ladies in the community who volunteer on their committee, Diana Zitko, Danielle Jones, Jessica Prasat and Angela Judge. Check out our Gallery of Past Events! |
