WV Montessori Casino Royale - Catherine Barr

JAMES Bond himself never had it so good. "Casino Royale" was the theme on May 5th as West Vancouver Montessori School held their annual school fundraiser in the Grand Ballroom of the magnificent new Delta Pinnacle Hotel. A silent auction, raffles and door prizes were only some of the surprises in store for guests as they dressed in their very best and were invited to gamble the night away with some very funny money. Lots of dancing and live music was also in order and losing at the tables didn't spoil any of the fun. Congratulations to all the event organizers and parents on a job well done.
