Ashbury's
Swishy Night
The auction catalogue for Ashbury
College's 8th Annual Board of Governors'
Ball was like a good book:
it was hard to put down. There were
once-in-a-lifetime trips and fabulously
hosted dinner parties to read about.
Looking particularly nice was the
week-long stay at two deluxe homes
in the French Riviera with pools,
tennis court and housekeeper.
The black-tie dinner and auction
was expected to raise more than $250,000,
with most of the funds directed toward
student bursaries and scholarships
at the Rockcliffe Park private school.
The ball was again sponsored by leading
real estate agent Marilyn
Wilson. Other big sponsors
included
Jeff Mierins of Star Motors
and John
Ruddy of Trinity Development
(one of the players in the proposed
Lansdowne Park revitalization project).
Spotted at the cocktail reception
were ball committee chairwoman Donna
Taucer, the school's headmaster,
Tam Matthews,
and the board of governors' vice-chairman,
Chris Teron
of Teron Inc.
