Together with the support of the Kambolis family of restaurants, Links of London and our guests, Thirty X Thirty was a truly memorable evening! Thank you to all involved.
Hosted by Gloria Macarenko and bejeweled with Links of London, guests enjoyed this intimate dinner in support of Arts Umbrella. After a guest appearance by a 9 year old Arts Umbrella bursary student and a welcome from Paul Woods, President of Links of London, guests made their way to nu restaurant + lounge for a fabulous after-party with DJ Leanne.

3 hot restaurants
Raincity Grill, C Restaurant and nu restaurant + lounge will be closed to the public for one evening, to welcome only friends of Arts Umbrella. Each restaurant will feature an intimate four course dining experience created by executive chef Robert Clark, paired with wines chosen by local sommeliers.
From elegant local ingredients combined with shimmering views in the heart of English Bay at Raincity Grill, to extraordinary sustainable seafood at one of Vancouver's most luxurious dining destinations at C Restaurant, to sumptuous, locally-sourced plates in a sleek and sexy, fashion-forward venue at nu restaurant + lounge, there is something for everyone in this truly intimate evening.
Each of the three restaurants will have exclusive silent auctions with a few select high-end packages. Click here for a preview of items up for auction!
1 stylish after-party
Guests from all three restaurants will converge at nu restaurant & lounge for an after-party with CBC News anchor Gloria Macarenko. Guests from C will enjoy the water views that accompany the short stroll to nu along the seawall, while guests at Raincity Grill will be transported in a convoy of luxury vehicles from English Bay to Yaletown, courtesy of Vancouver All-Terrain.
Only 1 Links of London
Guests will be inspired by the sparkling presence of the jewels of Links of London. Whether it is the new Flutter & Wow Collection, a traditional watch collection or the ever popular Sweetie line, the one and only Links of London will charm its way into our hearts.
30 years of Arts Umbrella
2009 is an important year for us. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we recognize the tremendous need for our outreach programs in our community. We are committed to expanding our reach, providing impactful programs for vulnerable children in their own neighbourhoods, and removing barriers that stand between children and the benefits that arts education can bring to their lives. All proceeds from Thirty x Thirty will help us realize this objective.
This event is made possible through the generous support of the Kambolis restaurants.
