Wv Foundation Denim and Diamonds

Oct 25, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

The West Vancouver Foundation chose a decidedly different theme for their annual gala last Saturday night as organizers traded in their bow ties and boas in favour of "Denim and Diamonds". The charitable organization transformed the Hollyburn Country Club gym into a slick and stylish saloon and encouraged guests to rustle up their best cowboy gear. Western hospitality aside, the event was every bit as glamorous and successful as before and congratulations are in order for everyone involved.
