The 20th Year Gala Black Tie Event was a huge success with 90 people in attendance.  Our Entertainment was Spilt Milk Comedy Group from Victoria, and they hosted our event, and entertained us with impromptu humor which included getting our members up and involved in the fun.

The Royal Coachman provided a fabulous buffet and we had Marne Svennes (First President and founding member), Margo Cormack (Founding member) & Phil MacDougal (our First Parliamentarian).  Our silent auction raised $2,832.00 to contribute towards our bursaries and future guest speakers.  A huge THANK YOU TO ALL THE DONORS
