A good time was had by all at potluck

Close to 60 residents of Bayshore Towers and their guests enjoyed an evening of fun, food and friendship at Escape To The Tropics, the second annual mid-winter social hosted by Bayshore Neighbours Association.

Lots of folks wore something tropical, but best-dressed honours went to Sue for her extraordinary bra--complete with seahorses swimming in water. Click on the image for a better view.

It was an outstanding potluck dinner with a mouth-watering variety of dishes and desserts prepared by participating residents. Among the standouts were John's gourmet macaroni and cheese, Hennie's yummo meatballs in a tomato sauce, tender pulled pork with pineapple from Helen, a delicious lasagna made by the daughter-in-law of Hazel S, Ken's superb chili, tasty chicken with spinach by Jocelyne, excellent seafood Alfredo by Hazel D, cream-cheese crescent rolls by Maria and two trays of outstanding sweets made by Marcie who herself wasn't able to attend.
A Hawaiian dance demonstration was presented by seven-year-old Myla (above) to the wild applause of all present. Jim (below) regaled the crowd with his story-telling. Jokes were contributed by Ken and Jocelyne.
The potluck organizing committee was co-chaired by Helen and Mary. The worker bees, in alphabetical order, were Barb, Hazel D, Hennie, Jocelyne, Maryann, Norlene, Sue and Ken, and Tiny. A special thank you was extended to Willie, a former resident, who, among other contributions, donated the 50-foot long mural that offered a view of a tropical paradise.

The 50/50 draw sold by Barb raised $55 for the association and $55 for lucky Dave. A dozen door prizes were awarded to the fortunate.
Before she left us, Myla gave a Hawaiian dancing lesson to Briley and Charley.

Ken performed Master of Ceremonies with aplomb. Don volunteered his services as Designated Driver but had no takers.
