Information about upcoming 7th Annual Little Black Dress event.
What is the Little Black Dress event?
The "Little Black Dress" event, organized annually by the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce, is a community-oriented gathering focused on networking, charity, and fun. This event typically includes a themed evening with auctions, entertainment, and opportunities for local businesses to sponsor or contribute. For example, the 2023 event had a "Barbie" theme and raised $7,000 to support the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation's CT Scanner Campaign.
Who is the not-for-profit organization we are partnering with this year?
The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is a non-profit organization that provides critical support and treatment services for youth dealing with substance abuse and related issues. While we have a local youth center, the Dave Smith Centre offers specialized care and resources that may not be available locally. Partnering with this organization allows us to extend help to youth who need these services, regardless of geographical boundaries.
Is this event for men as well?
No, this event is a 19+ female only event. This special gathering is designed to celebrate, empower, and connect women within our community.
How are the funds used by the Chamber?
The money raised from this event will be reinvested into programs that support the growth and sustainability of local businesses. This can include educational workshops, community outreach programs, and networking events designed to strengthen business connections and contribute to the overall economic health of North Grenville.
Do I have to wear a Little Black Dress?
Cocktail attire is a semi-formal dress code typically required for events like cocktail parties, weddings, and evening functions. It strikes a balance between casual and formal wear, aiming for elegance without being overly dressy.
For Women:
• Dresses: A cocktail dress is the most common choice, usually knee-length or just above. It can be simple or slightly embellished, depending on the event.
• Jumpsuits: Stylish jumpsuits can also work for a modern twist.
• Heels or elegant flats: Footwear should be polished and elegant.
• Accessories: Keep it classy but not overly flashy. A statement piece, like earrings or a bracelet, often works well.
Do I need to bring cash for the evening?
Yes, it makes it easier to purchase tickets for the varies games. We will have our Square for tap payments on hand to make payments from the silent/live auction items you win!
Is there a coat check?
Yes, there is one at the venue.
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes, there is free ample parking for our event.
What happens if I have any food restrictions?
You would reach out to the Chamber Info@northgrenvillechamber.com
And let us know and we would adjust your meal.
If I buy tickets and so do my friends, can we sit together?
If you reach out to the chamber, we will try our hardest to arrange that.
