Ninety guests enjoyed Bridge Lake Community School's (BLCS) International Gourmet dinner, with four different feasts generously catered by Eagan Lake Resort, Del's Cuisine, Sun-Yam Thai Restaurant, and Derek and Lisa Larson of Kamloops on Jan. 30.
Great entertainment was provided by Deka Lake's Bob Rogers and Roe Lake's Jason Ruscheinsky.
The silent auction raised a phenomenal $1,740, and in all, a total of $2,600 was raised to help BLCS continue providing programs.
BLCS president Chris Lance voiced her warmest appreciation to the chefs, auction donors, dinner guests and auction buyers for their wonderful support.
