Award-winning singer/songwriter Jann Arden and TV personality Vicki Gabereau headlined one of the more spectacular events of this season at West Vancouver's Kay Meek Centre last Friday. The gala evening, which included a sparkling Magnum champagne reception beforehand, was a fundraiser for the Lions Gate Hospice Society and their goal of building the North Shore's first free-standing hospice. Fabulous raffle prizes included a Brinkhaus Polar Bear diamond, a Rocky Mountain romance package and a dream golf /helicopter package.
