Bridge Lake Community School hosting dinner/silent auction

Community news happening around the Bridge Lake and Interlakes area of the South Cariboo

Bridge Lake Community School Society (BLCS) is holding its annual International Gourmet Dinner & Silent Auction on Jan. 30, starting at 6:30 p.m.

All proceeds go to fund BLCS programs, which no longer receive government assistance.

For $20, guests will receive their entree of choice, dessert and beverages. No minors are permitted.

A choice of four entrees is available:

Barbecued steak with baked potato, grilled peppers and Caesar salad, by Kris and Cheryl Verheul of Eagan Lake Resort.

Chicken Cordon Bleu with vegetable medley, with a tomato and fresh cheese salad by Derek and Lisa Larson of Kamloops.

Authentic Thai cuisine by Terren and Wanda Robertson of Sun-Yam Thai Restaurant (previously Eastwood Lake).

Wonton soup with fresh snow peas, broccoli and green onions; sweet and sour chicken balls with sautéed onions, peppers, carrots and pineapple in homemade sweet and sour sauce; and chicken chow mein with fresh vegetables, by Sheridan's Del's Cuisine.

Entertainment will be provided by Deka's Bob Rogers and Roe Lake's Jason Ruscheinsky.

Seating is limited. Reservations, and choice of menu, must be called in to BLCS co-ordinator, Gail Larson, at 250-593-4351, by Jan. 27.

 

Christmas Giftboxes

Organizers are most grateful to the folks who helped fill Christmas Giftboxes for Interlakes residents.

On Dec. 21, 17 boxes were delivered from Interlakes Hall, and very warmly received. Each included a turkey (or chicken for the singles), food, toys and an item of clothing for every person in the household.

In addition to the Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) firefighters' food drive around their area, Bridge Lake Elementary School ran a contest between their classrooms to see which could bring in the greatest amount of canned goods at their annual dinner concert.

According to spokesperson Gyl Connaty, "This provided probably well over 100 pounds of food."

 

Celebrations

Birthday bubbly goes to Kitty Carroll, Elsie Clarkson, Joan Foster and Bill Jollymore, who all celebrate on Jan. 20.
