Gen Y and Great Ideas

My friend Lyndi Thompson is brilliant. She put together Seattle's first Chocolate Tweetup at the country's only fair-trade, organic chocolate factory, Theo Chocolate, to benefit Pasado's Safe Haven and give her startup, social media, and socially-concious friends a fun networking opportunity. Lyndi is passionate about making a difference for humans and animals alike. Who doesn't love chocolate, wine, and helping animals?

The event was a hit with 56 people drinking wine, eating chocolate, taking factory tours, and learning about the great work of Pasado's.

I love the energy, creativity, and social conscience of Gen Y, and especially Lyndi, who is all about what's possible!

Watch for the November Chocolate Tweetup to benefit Seattle Food Banks. Follow Chocolate Tweetup on Facebook, ChocoTweetup on Twitter or check the ChocoTweetup website for information.

  1. I enjoyed a combined coffee cupping / chocolate tasting event at Caffe Vita - in partnership with Theo Chocolate - several months ago that gave me a keener appreciation for chocolate and its sources.

    More recently, I read an interesting article by Serita Cox in Harvard Business Review, How Chocolate Can Save the World, that seems relevant to the socially conscious theme(s) promoted by Theo Chocolates.
