Opening Barbeque

by Marcel Martin

he David Lam barbeque took place

on September 12 between four and
seven o’clock. This event was held to
announce the opening of the new college
facility. The Douglas College Student
Society and other volunteers: Jean
Rickerby, Mandeep Bhuller, Diane Jilg,
Bonny Shotropa, Kelli Ansell, Emmett
McRobbie, Katrina Lennax, Colleen
Jeffrey, Lou Rene Legge Rebecca Helps,

Coley Mansfield, Shawn Large, Rhonda
Lussier, Vance Barker, and Chris Blair
were responsible for feeding the noisy
mob. There was also a TV for all the
World Cup, hockey-crazed individuals
who chose to attend the Barbecue instead
of lounging on a couch and screaming
their patriotic lungs out at home.

The menu included veggie burgers
and traditional burgers, macaroni salad

 

 

 

and coleslaw. To quench the thirst of the crowd
the dispensing opticians offered beer, coolers,
cider, and soda pop. The music played gave
the gathering either a dance party nirvana or
hell, depending on your point of view and
musical tastes.

On the whole, fun was had by anyone with
a pulse and the volunteers were actually still
smiling three hours into the festivities.
