West Van Foundation Gala





ON Saturday, October 20 the West Vancouver Foundation held its annual fund raising gala dinner at Capilano Golf and Country Club. "An Evening in Tuscany" was the theme as guests pinned Italian flags on their tuxes and gowns to dine on authentic cuisine and sip Italian wine. It was the culmination of a year of hard work by a group of volunteers who are dedicated to assisting organizations and people. The foundation remains one of the major sponsors of the Harmony Arts Festival and has assisted with groups like the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and NS Association for the Mentally Handicapped.
