Sunny Hill Gala

THE Sunny Hill Foundation for Children and Yorkton Securities hosted "An Autumn Night's Dream" on Septmber 21 at Vancouver's elegant Villa Amato. This exclusive black tie event always attracts lots of North Shore favourites, and this year was no exception. Last year, the children's health centre received over $35,000 and this year the total was over $70,000. Guests enjoyed a champagne reception and wonderful hors d'oeuvres prepared by fifteen of Vancouver's best restaurants. The street outside was also closed off to traffic so that everyone could enjoy the showcase of classic cars. Tres chic.
