It was party time for the M.E.L. on Friday, November 20, at the Victoria Inn. Almost 300 people turned up for The
annual AGM/Gala and charity Silent Auction. The Band, "Mother Groove" was excellent and the dance floor was
busy all evening. The Victoria Inn served up a scrumptious sirloin steak dinner and each couple received a complimentary,
professionally taken photograph of themselves. The theme was "New Orleans Mardi Gras" and a travel voucher
for $4,000 was the door prize. . . . and the Winner Is
Rob Ruys presents door prize winner, Gary Klippenstien from Gescan with
the $4000.00 travel voucher.
The Reason Behind The Fun
The Silent Auction, held at the AGM/Gala, as well as the individual member
donations, raised almost $10,000 for the Burn Fund this year, a new record. Once again the M.E.L. membership showed
their class and commitment to the community by opening their wallets for this most worthy cause.
