SOURCE: Marriott The Courtyard by Marriott San Jose/Campbell Is “Mixing It Up” CAMPBELL, CA–(Marketwire – November 23, 2010) – Almost 200 Silicon Valley professionals attended the Mixing It Up social networking event put on by the Courtyard by Marriott San Jose/Campbell on Thursday, November 11 th , 2010. Toby Cheng, the Director of Sales at the hotel near San Jose , is on the committee of the Silicon Valley Young Professionals Association. Reaching out to his network there and at the Campbell Chamber of Commerce, he hosted his 3 rd social networking mixer focusing on “A Little Bit of Business and a Whole Lot of Fun,” and if the packed San Jose hotel’s lobby was any indication, the mixer was a great success. Networking aside, the team at Courtyard by Marriott San Jose/Campbell wanted to do something charitable for the community, so they incorporated a food drive with this event. Contributions from attendees were donated to Loaves and Fishes, a non-profit organization that has been serving the working poor, families, homeless and seniors living in and around the San Jose area for close to 30 years. In the spirit of giving back to others, attendees brought nonperishable food items to donate to the charity, filling a barrel to overflowing in a matter of an hour.
