FUN(D) DINNER 2014
2011 MISSION TRIP
A Winter in Paris
BY CHRISTINA LISTER
THE THEME FOR THIS YEAR’S FUN(D)
DINNER WAS “A WINTER IN PARIS,”
and it was seen in every aspect of the
night. The evening began with guests
being greeted in the lobby of the A.
E. King Fitness Complex by a marketplace of hors d’oeuvres, bistro tables
and chairs, live musicians, and mimes
from the Drama club. Once signed in at
the registration table, you found yourself transported to the streets of Paris,
with it’s unique doors lining the streets,
dimly lit lampposts, and a view of The
River Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Tables
were decorated with lanterns and
handdrawn chalkboard bottles.
Choir Director, Sharon Foreman began the evening with the singing of
the Canadian and French National Anthem. Our entertainment for the evening consisted of performances by the
Kingsway Philharmonic Ensemble, the
Symphonic Choir, as well as the Aerials.
James ‘79 and Cathy Anderson ‘79 kept
the evening rolling with their skits and
playful banter. There was even a visit

from Napoleon Bonaparte himself.
Grade 12 student and Worthy Student
Fund recipient Antannia Aguilar shared
what an impact the funds raised has
had on her own experience at Kingsway.
The Aerials served the delicious meal
prepared by Kingsway’s own Fred
Tenerife, Alfredo Tumangday, and Zahwa Deeb. Fresh baguette, soup, savory crepes, french style green beans,
roasted potatoes, petit fours and fruit
salad were all part of the dinner service.
