White Rock Tennis Club 2005 Fall Dinner dance
Wow…what a fabulous wind-up Dinner Dance many of us enjoyed as we celebrated a successful 2005 tennis season! Close to 100 members and guests enjoyed a fabulous night of wining, dining and dancing with live entertainment orchestrated by the very talented Roy Duquette who this year brought along a very special guest, Darla Kendrick who's beautiful voice was pure joy. We all enjoyed a very special treat from these two very talented entertainers.
As usual it was a team effort to put this event together. Thanks go out to Clare Martin and Gloria Sommerville who decorated the room and table settings – looked wonderful, sparkling in black and white with orange and rust accents. great job! It was Marion Van Keken who suggested the theme and brought the ‘starry night' backdrop and tablecloths along from her business that looked truly awesome. Thanks Marion . Betty Bishop and Shirley Withenshaw were the hostesses with the mostest. Bar tenders for the evening were John Torsky, Jack Withenshaw , Helge Jensen , Al Mein and Roy Bishop who did great stuff behind the bar – this is truly where you guys shine! - As well as on the court J Our new President Jack Queen was the M.C. for the evening and along with Gil Sommerville congratulated the 2005 Club Tournament winners.
Lots of people told me that the food was ‘even better this year'. I'll let you into a secret…I asked Mike, the caterer to change a couple of the dishes and add more flavour – i.e. fresh herbs and garlic as this was what I've been using at the club and you seem to like it. So, there you have it - those of you who went home with a tasty tongue – now you know now why!
Finally, we had some great door prizes donated by local business that I would like to thank here as well. The lucky winners all went home very happy.
