Newfoundland Society of Ottawa 2006 Christmas Dinner and Dance

December 11, 2006

The Newfoundland Society of Ottawa (NLSO) Executive wishes to thank all those who contributed to the huge success of the NLSO 2006 Christmas Dinner and Dance. It was an evening filled with excellent companionship, great food, outstanding music, a packed dance floor and prizes galore.

The sold out event, held at the Sala San Marco Banquet Hall, was a grand evening, with several touches of Newfoundland. Each person attending had his or her own favourite highlight of the evening - the performance by Fine Vintage (courtesy of Royal Lepage Realtor Grace Glastonbury), the visit from the Mummers, a slide show of Newfoundland scenes (thanks to Mark Ledwell for the compilation), the singing of Ode to Newfoundland, greetings from Premier Danny Williams and the tiny Newfoundland flags at every place setting (great idea Tracy).

A special thank you goes out to Pedro Lopez, from the Earl of Sussex, for his support throughout the year. Also, special kudos to DJ Brad Wood who was the main reason why several people went home with sore feet and tired legs.

Yes, there are already plans in the works for a NLSO 2007 Christmas Dinner and Dance. Don't forget to let us know of your email address changes so that you'll have the opportunity to partake in next year's scoff and scuff party.
