LGH Night of Jazz

LGH Night of Jazz

THE smooth and sexy appeal of jazz music was the theme behind the Lions Gate Hospital's latest fund raising event. An Evening of Jazz was held on Thursday March 14 at the elegant Capilano Golf and Country Club where over 150 guests were putting on the ritz for this very worthwhile cause. Both live and silent auction items gave everyone a chance to bid on something special, and singer Tammy Weiss wooed the crowd onto the dance floor to end a perfect evening. Close to $35,000 was raised which will now go towards the purchase of a new ECG machine.

	Global TV's Jennifer Mather, who was one of the evening's MC's, is taking some time away from the news to be with her main man, Vancouver Canucks' Brian Burke.
	NS News gal Dee Dhaliwal, seen here with husband Amar, was on the event organizing committee.
	Lending their support to a very good cause were Jane Doll (from left), Sue Godey and Jodi Horn.
	Lord Jewellers' own Elizabeth and Ilan Heller generously donated a beautiful 18k pearl and diamond necklace.

	Gill Watson was pleased to see her hubby, Mike Watson, do such a good job as one of the evening's MC's.
	Tammy Weiss' sultry looks and soulful voice are the perfect combo for a rising star. The jazz diva was one of the evening's main attractions.
