Anniversary Dinner & Entertainment Feb 7, 2009
Posted 9 Feb, 2009

Summerlea's annual Anniversary Dinner took place Saturday evening February 7, 2009 in Acadia Hall, followed by entertainment in the Sanctuary. The chicken pie dinner was prepared by our intrepid Summerlea kitchen crew and served by the Youth Group, with help from their leaders. The Youth Group also set up the tables Saturday morning, cleared the tables and put them away after dinner, and washed the dishes. Thanks team. The attendance was not as large as usual, perhaps because of warnings of freezing rain (some did occur during the entertainment). Following dinner, the assemblage repaired to the sanctuary for a presentation of music and humorous anecdotes arranged by Summerlea's music director Connie Osborne and friends. Following are a few photos of the event. You can pick a small photo to see a larger version, then pick Back on your browser to return to this page.

Let's start with our thanks to those who made the dinner happen.

In the kitchen - Mary Guyan & Marion Golden, Roy Rodd & Kevin McKenzie, Undeg Edwards & Marion Golden.

The servers lined up to get snapped in their Habs regalia (which did not seem to help the Habs as they lost to the Leafs). The McKenzie's, Rodd's, Alayna Roy & Jacob Osborne, & Elizabeth & Nathalie Wightman.

Some shots of folks shooting the breeze after dinner, while waiting to head to the sanctuary for entertainment.

As folks headed out to the sanctuary, the young folks cleared and put away tables.

Our Wizard (Dr. Tom Pavlasek) offered some illuminating (and hilarious) words of wisdom.

Rev Howard Clark treated us to a ditty about the cat who came back (again & again).

Then it was the Lakeshore Saxophone Quartet:     Keith Field - Baritone saxophone     Leslie Field - Soprano & alto saxophone     David Burrage - Alto saxophone     Dave Spencer - Tenor saxophone They ofered us another eclectic selection from George Gershwin, Gabriel Pierné, Domenico Scarlotti, Paul Nagle, Paul Cohen, Fats Waller, Scott Joplin, & Henry Mancini.

And as we headed home, there was Acadia hall all set for the next day's activities, thanks to the Youth Group and leaders.

Many thanks to all who prepared meals, set up and took down tables, served and cleaned up and to those who provided us with an evening of enjoyable entertainment.
