Parties That Cook recently participated in the Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) Partner Company Showcase for the 2nd year in a row and what a great day! The sun always seems to shine at the Pacific Athletic Club where PCV entrepreneur advisees busily put up posters and displayed promotional materials at their booths. As a cooking parties and corporate team building events company, we thought it only right that Parties That Cook provide live cooking demonstration along with our business cards! We had a blast chopping fresh herbs and slicing chanterelles for small plate samples of Wild Mushroom Crostini with Teleme and Thyme.

As we greeted passersby and chatted with fellow advisees, we realized just how lucky we were to have found a fantastic resource like Pacific Community Ventures. PCV is a non-profit organization that offers entrepreneurs access to valuable business development resources. And boy have we utilized those resources! At this annual fundraiser, business advisors and investors are invited to network and learn more about the portfolio businesses PCV supports.

We are continually impressed by the professionalism and touched by the kindness of every PCV employee and member of the network we’ve worked with. Looking across the lawn at fellow exhibitors, we also felt proud to be amidst such remarkable businesses as Equator Coffee, New Leaf Paper, Sheila Moon Athletic Apparel and Galaxy Desserts. We enjoyed stimulating conversation at the luncheon that followed and returned to the office with renewed enthusiasm and a feeling of true community. Maybe the Chef at Galaxy Desserts can even show us a thing or two when he redeems his Parties That Cook cooking class raffle prize!
