AMIB Christmas Dinner 2015
At the venerable Mayne Island Ag Hall, the AMIB held its Christmas Dinner attended by 74 members, a sold-out event!  Organizers decorated the hall in nautical fashion complete with life rings made into wreaths.

AMIB President Carl Bunnin informed the club that the Harbors Commission has now approved a budget for the proposed Anson Road dock, subject to rezoning approval.
 
After Thomi Glover gave grace, members were treated to a turkey/ham dinner with all the fixings and gourmet dessert catered by Sue Duncan (Dinners by Design). 
 
Entertainment was a slide show featuring AMIB boating-related photos all set to music by Treasurer Bryan Westby. 
 
A number of members dressed up in nautical attire.  No mistaking this was a boating party!
 
The evening closed with Sharon reading the “Sailor’s Poem”
 
There are big ships and small ships.
But the best ship of all is friendship.

 

Thanks to:
  • The dinner organizers, in particular Sharon Bunnin who also was the MC
  • AMIB members and spouses who helped decorate the hall and also helped with clean up.
  • Sue Duncan and her crew for the great dinner
  • Jeff Hochhalter and Christa Morin for bartending
  • Bryan Westby (and Elspeth) for putting together the slide show
  • Dave Chase, Allen Slade, and Joanna Weeks for A-V help
  • Peter & Jill Hansche, and Ian & Nes Sutherland, Judy Kiyooka and Sharon Bunnin for greeting guests and manning (personing?) the front tables
