Company B made their debut in Sechelt and treated everyone to some jazz and swing music. People appreciated that this event was in the afternoon, some came just to listen to the music and we saw some new faces in the crowd.
The food was beautifully done! Sandwiches, scones and delicious desserts made by SSAC kitchen staff. Many thanks to The Independent Grocer which donated $100 toward the food.
The door prize of tickets to Mad Cow coming up in April was won by Pat Hausberg. Thank you to the 50/50 draw winner who donated funds back to the Centre. A few lucky people bought some of the gorgeous decorations Amanda made. Those funds will go towards the next event’s decorations.
Line Dance Workshop – 33 people turned out for the line dance workshop led by Jay Alexov, Collene Sand and Krystyna Wisniewska. The participants learned 3 new dances and had a blast.
Blue Western put on a great performance on Saturday night. Mike Evans – guitar and vocals, Archie MacLean – drums and vocals, Warren Allan – bass and vocals and Bill Barclay on keyboards and vocals. Attendees had a wonderful time and danced up a storm.
The door prize of tickets to our April dance were won by Maria Engler. And the 50/50 draw of $120 was split by Lois Pickard and
the SSAC.
As always, many thanks to all the volunteers who make these events possible. As you can imagine there is a lot of organizing, making the beautiful decorations, setting up tables and chairs, tending bar and washing dishes, clearing up after and putting everything away (thanks to all the people who stay behind to pitch in), washing and ironing tablecloths . . . the list goes on.
