THE West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce Christmas dinner is always an elegant affair. Held on Dec. 11 at the Capilano Golf and Country Club, members get the chance to dress-up and socialize over cocktails beforehand, then it's time for the four-star buffet which always includes succulent seafood, exotic pate, freshly carved beef and fabulous desserts. This year, a balloon raffle and a rousing game of "head and tails" ensured that no one went home empty handed. A special visit from Santa (aka Peter Black), always brings smiles as he roasts all who have been naughty and nice. Merry Christmas everyone and a very Happy New Year.
