GUESTS BEGAN ARRIVING at 5:00PM, anxious to see what
the night had in store. As they walked into the lobby of the A.
E. King Fitness Complex, they were greeted with lovely music
provided by Kingsway students (Jared Morado, Vivianne Tugay,
Candice Juodele, Michael Tugay, and Malissa Flores) and tasty
hors d’oeuvres. Once checked in, guests were ushered to their
seats by helpful students, and given the opportunity to peruse
the Silent Auction items donated by local businesses and friends
of Kingsway.
The program began with a welcome by Oshawa Mayor, John
Henry, as well as Enrolment Director, Remy Guenin. The MCs for
the evening, Lisa and Reuel McGann, introduced the Kingsway
College Philharmonic Ensemble who played two numbers for
the guests. Dinner service began with a delicious garden salad,
served by the Kingsway College Aerials. After the Philharmonic
Ensemble, three of Kingsway’s students, Tanisha Bastien, Quisa
Diamante, and Vivianne Tugay sang a lovely rendition of “Hallelujah”.
Kim Tosi, grade 9 student and Worthy Student Fund recipient,
was interviewed by Lisa, and spoke about the blessing of being
able attend Kingsway thanks to the Worthy Student Fund. Kim is
heavily involved in Kingsway life, with the praise team, serving
as Pastor for the Philharmonic Ensemble, as well as speaking for
major events like Preview Weekend.
The Kingsway College Symphonic Choir sang four songs while
the main entrée of penne with a primavera sauce, steamed
vegetables, and bread with butter was served. Another
highlight of the evening was when students Darnel Bazil and
Julia Curtis sang “I Believe In You” .
