t was a grand and glorious

Sunday evening at the Hyatt

Regency in Vancouver as the

North Shore celebrited a very
festive Christmas occasion!

It was the fourth anaual North
Shore Family Christmas Ball and it
was the biggest and best yet. It
was held in the huge ballroom
which was beautifully decorated
with cedar boughs, silver
streamers and red and green
balloons.

More than 655 people showed

up in their finest to dine and
dance throughout the evening.
The wonderful thing about this
gala affair is that it’s for the whole
family, with mothers and fathers,
children, grandparents and even
aunts and uncles enjoying the
festivities together. The organizers
of the ball have also managed to
keep it to a very reasonable $50
per person.

And best of ali, the monies rais-
ed from this merry-making event
go to assist other less fortunate
North Shore families.

The evening began with a
reception in the ballroom foyer
where everyone gathered to meet
and greet. The menu feature was
roast prime rib which was preced-
ed by Caesar Safad, and crowned
with the parading of the Christmas
Jubilee dessert aglow with dozens
of sparklers.

W.V.'s Acting Mayor Mark Sager
was looking happier than ever.
That’s probably because his best
girl, Katherine Balmer, an execu-
live with Merrill Lynch, just sur-
prised him and said ‘yes’ to his
marriage proposal. They'll wed
some time next summer, either in
june or July...

North Vancouver City Mayor
Jack Loucks and his wife, Olive,
who was in a soft coral blouse and
patterned skirt, were enjoying the
testivities with companions they'd
just met. And no, the mayor and
his wife did not trip the light fan-
tastic. He'd danced himself out at
3 prior function. But he did say
that he thought it was a great
evening, wonderful and interesting
table-mates, very good food, and
he's really looking forward to next
year's party, when he will be
ready to dance the night away...
Incidentally, Olive’s new outfit
was a gift from their daughters...

Another good-looking couple on
the floor was the new Minister of
the Environment, the Hon. John
Reynolds and his glamorous wife,
Yvonne, in deep green shisred
satin, He was getting over his ex-
haustion from playing in the
Whistler Challenge Cup match at
the Vancouver Lawn and Tennis
club with tennis star, Bjorn Borg.

Reynolds won most of his round
robin battles and finally beat Borg
4-0. No wonder he was tired! This
was a fundraiser for Bjorn’s new
tennis school to be located in
Whistler.

John and Yvonne were joined at
their table by son Mike and his
wife, Liza, and son, Paul and his
wife, Nicole, and her parents,
juanita and Peter Ryan. Yvonne
thought it was simply a wonderful
party. Yhey danced all night
long!...

Looking very trim was Canadian
Airlines International’s Labor Rela-
tions Vice President, Judi Korbin,

of the categories of the YWCA
Women of Distinction awards last
