For the 43rd year, the Gabriola Lions Club members gathered at the prestigious Gabriola Golf & Country Club for the annual Christmas Gala.
Thanks to the hard work of our hostess, Lion Olga, the Lions were able to enjoy an awesome feast prepared by Dawn and her tireless crew.
Besides the good food, there was much jocularity during the fabulous evening of comradery as we told stories of the great year we had and all the work that was undertaken.
This annual event marks the end of the season as we all prepare to enjoy the holidays and recharge to tackle the next year’s projects.
As is customary, the Lion of the Year is announced after the dinner as well as the handing out of the coveted door prize. And, as is customary, the Lion of the year comes as a shock surprise, not only to the Lion getting the award, but also to all those in attendance.
Since there is only one door prize, most members left disappointed. Not only because they did not win the prize but mainly because of who did win it.
