The CBC/SRC Association was delighted to resume the annual Christmas Dinner Buffet Party at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club after a two-year  lapse due to Covid restrictions.  The party took place on November 27th - the first time it's ever been held on a Sunday - and 59 people took part - Susan Baxter, Rick Cluff & Cecelia Warren, Chris Cutress, Jacques & Manjula Dufresne, Helene Dupre-Espeut & Tony Espeut, Kimberley Dutchak, Joan Engel and friend Bill Scholey, Diana Filer, Jacquie & Ray Fitzgerald, Carrie Gadsby, Neil & Lynn Gillon, Denis Grenier & Janice Pin, Lorna Haeber & Gord Oliver, Heather Hankin, Joe Holman, Ron Ireland, Erica Johnson, Brian Keating & Phyllis Wilcox keating, John Kennedy, Doug & Melody Kerr, Lori Konorti, Peter & Susan Layton, Ron & Diane Mahy with friends Tony & Audrey Pease, Marnie Manns, Anne Mathisen, Ken Mitchell with friends John & Halina deWit, Maurice Moses, Carey Murphy & Clive Bottomley, Mar Sulaika Ochs, Peggy Oldfield, Belle Puri, Steve Rendall, John Rogers, Audrey Service and friend Wally Donaldson, Joe Silva, Karen Tankard, Michael Varga, Alan & Kelly Waterman, Lawrence Wright & Naomi Bradley.  CBC/SRC Association President Joe Holman was M/C for the evening and in addition to welcoming everyone, Joe paid special tribute to the memory of Mike Oldfield who passed away on September 17th of this year, introduced Mar Sulaika Ochs who expressed appreciation to Peggy Oldfield for "keeping the CBC family together", resulting in a standing ovation for Peggy, and Lorna Haeber, Secretary of the British Columbia and Yukon Region, CBC Pensioners' Natgional Association who expressed Season's Greetings from the Regional Board along with apologies from the other Executive members unable to attend, and provided a brief update on the CBCPNA.  A 50/50 draw was held with the winnings of $170.00 going to Anne Mathisen and an equal amount to the CBC/SRC Association coffers. Anne says she will make a donation to charity from her winnings and will advise details when she's made her decision. 

With grateful appreciation to Jacquie Fitzgerald, Erica Johnson and Lori Konorti, we have a wonderful array of photos from the party.  The mauve lights in the meet & greet area of the room have added a purple cast to some of the pictures which we've tried to correct as much as possible, but that's why skin tones look the way they do in some shots.  Enjoy!
