WEst Vancouver Youth Band - Sizzling Celebration of Summer

Jun 27, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

It seems only fitting that on their 75th anniversary, the West Vancouver Youth Band is looking to the future. Last week, at Capilano Golf and Country Club, the West Vancouver Foundation, the Mayor's Office and the band itself hosted a "Sizzling Celebration of the Summer Ahead". The $150 ticket fundraiser will go towards an endowment fund that will help the group build a permanent practice space in the new West Vancouver Community Centre.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
