WV Chamber President's Dinner

catherine barr

ANOTHER history making event took place in West Vancouver last week, and again, Capilano Golf and Country Club was the place. On June 27, three days after hosting their first ever external charity golf tournament, the club was once again the scene of something very special. The West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce held their annual President's Dinner and the first ever female president was elected to power. Dina Zeitler and her newly appointed board were presented to the audience as part of the evening's festivities which also included the annual business awards and, as always, a fabulous dinner buffet. Congratulations to all involved.
