JOY TELLS ALL

LAST WEEK amiable hotel
general manager Doug
Forseth and his Hyatt exec-
utives entertained more than
2,000 guests at their annual
clients reception.

It also gave them a chance to
display their $15-million remodell-
ing job and they did it in a very
creative and unique way. There
were totally different themes on
each of the public floors with an
Indian Village with live deer,
complete with tepees and smoked
salmon on one floor; a California
room with hot dogs, popcorn, soft
drinks and the Beach Boys playing
on another; a Hollywood room
with glitter, glitz and George
Borns on still another floor.

There was also a Wild West
display floor with cowboys, fancy
ladies, a railway tunnel and a big
hip of beef on the barbecue. On
the main floor, there was the Brit-
ish room with Beefeaters, a

MONA HELCERMANAS-BENGE and George Lenko look through

beautiful sleek race horse, English
jockeys, fox-hunters, strawberries
and cream, chilled champagne and
Queen Elizabeth.

Definitely a fun gala for the top
business, community and financial
leaders of B.C.

Spotted tucking into the goodies
were the Properties’ British Air-
ways connection, Jim and Joyce
MacKeachie, restaurant fellow Sev
Morin, the North Shore’s Rocky
Mountaineer Railway gurus Peter
Armstrong and Ric Antonson
(who just launched their new
season with a record number of
passengers), the insurance world’s
Graeme Black, promotions lady
Sue Mighton of Mighton Market-
ing Services, Labatt’s former PR
man Gordy Weber, The Pro-
vince’s Ann Garber, the VTCC’s
Jan Besseling and a young man |
haven't seen since he went to
school with my kids, former
Sutherland Secondary Schoo! stu-
dent, Vince Ornato, who's now in
the security business.

Also flying in for this
auspicious occasion were Toron-
to’s Bramalea executives, Dan
Arts and George Schott.

They were intrigued by the ar-
ray of live wild animals in the
hotel that included the race horse,
a smali deer and a pretty blue
parrot — or perhaps they were
thinking of their just-laid brand
new carpets worth a cool
$800,000!

Still with the Hyatt, news is that
the lady who has been
spearheading ali of the excellent
public relations for the Hyatt
Regency for the past four years is
leaving that position. North Van’s
Mariette (Mat) Sunderland has
done a superb job for the proper-
ty. So good, in fact, that she has

their Hyatt ‘‘Passports Around the World."

world.

Mat has just been appointed
media relations manager for the
Vriak Robinson Hhayhurst o7
VRH Agency. Her last official
function was to represent the hotel
recently at the Women of Distinc-
tion Awards. She started at VRH
last Tuesday...

West Van’s ever-youthful
Warnet Kennedy flew off to Ot-
tawa a few days ago. He had just
been appointed a_ representative
of the Architectural Institute of
B.C. to a “think tank session”’ in
the nation’s capital.

It's under the auspices of the
Canadian Council of the Blind
and their Sharing the Vision pro-
gram.

Warnet joined fellow architects
from all across North America
who are experienced, or have ex-
pertise in designing items for
sightless people.

Just another laurel for our can-
ny old Scot. Warnet was also in-
terested in seeing how the city has
changed since he helped design so
many of their buildings...

There was also quite a party at
Tom Larscheid’s Chartwell home
last Saturday night. It was a party
that Tom’s been planning for his
sports buddies for some time.

Sports guests included Judy and
Bernie (BCTV) Pascali, Bea and
Jim Robson, Alix Kerr and J.P.
MacConnell, Barb and Gary
Monahan, Rainee and Rop
Barnett, the male sports con-
tingent on CKNW, Leslie and
Kent (Province) Gilchrist, Squire
(CBC-TV) Barnes, The Sun’s Ar-
chie MacDonald and his lady
friend, Marlene, Nancy and Bob
Dunn, Alice and Arv (Sun) Olson
and TV Week's Greg Douglas and
his lady, Dee Webster.

Dee's just getting over a recent
medical problem and just looked
great. Even the Oracle of
Ambleside Denny Boyd made a
cameo appearance. Boyd and Ar-
chie MacDonald will celebrate 35
years with the Vancouver Sun at
the Press Club tomorrow and we
send along our sincere congratula-
tions...
