I always feel extremely lucky after a week of gala events like this, but not because of the fancy food, wine and celebrity friends. These events, and the people who run them, remind me how much I have to be thankful for compared to those who suffer from illness, addiction, hunger and more. Wendy Cocchia and her Women's Media Golf Tournament has helped special needs kids every year for 20 years. Easter Armas created A Loving Spoonful back in 1989 to help feed homebound and hungry HIV/AIDS patients. And fundraiser Diana Zoppa has helped put the Vancouver Police Department, drug addiction and the Odd Squad Gala on the map since 1999. All I did was show up to take photos. But ladies, I raise my glass in salute to you, and all you do, to remind us all how precious life really is.

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.
