Tulip Gala for the Legion Foundation

Part of why I love my job is because it allows me to give back by way of photographing Charitable Events. The Tulip Gala raised money for the Legion Foundation's Honor House to help veterans and our troops overseas when they return to society.

In attendance were Mayor Gregor Robertson and ex Premier Bill Van Der Zalm who did a good job as auctioneer for the evening. I had my picture taken with Bill when I was 16 years old at the B.C Festival of the Arts in Duncan. I told Mr. Van Der Zalm and he said he remembered that time on the Island. Many years later, he doesn't look that different. Must be all those lilacs:)

Mayor Gregor Robertson seemed like a gentle soul. Very calm and happy. Not to mention easy on the eyes:)

My Mother-In-Law works for the Legion and I was happy to help out. A successful evening and I met a lot of nice people.
