What a night! The 20th annual
Sweetheart Dinner and Dance

HERE ‘N: THERE.
YVONNE MOEN

THE KINETTE Club of
Terrace held its 20th anni-
versary Sweetheart Dinner
and Dance for seniors last
month, at the Elk’s Hall.

What a bash! It was a
great evening. It started
with Kinette president
Helen Finlayson opening
the Feb. 9 event by wel-
coming everyone.

She said special thank
yous to the Ladies of the
Royal Purple, to the Elks
Ciub for the use of the
hall, Terrace Totem Ford
for the courtesy van and
several sludents who came
from Caledonia Senior
Secondary school to vo-
lunteer as servers, and the
wonderful entertainment
provided by Dizzy Strings,
— and, of course, the mer-
chants who donated prizes.

Then it was time to in-
troduce the head table;
starting with the 2002 King
of Hearts, Charlie Oliver,
and his son, Jim. (Charlie
celebrated his 100th birth-
day on March 11.) Last
year’s Queen of Hearts,
Lorna. Klowak and Joe,
were also there, along with
RCMP Insp. Marlin De-
grand and Sgt, Jas Basi
and Harpal,. and City
Councillor Marylin Davies
and Phil,

A TERRACE institution
celebrates its 45th anni-
versary: this year. We are
the Royal Purple, the aux-
iliary to the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks.
We. work closely with
them in many endeavours.

Our regalia is purple
and white - the same
colours as the Elks.

Since the Royal Purple
was instituted in Terrace,
we have become the lead-
ing ladies’ ‘organization in
town by supporting the
cummunity through volun-
teer efforts.

We endeavour to pro-
mote and support’ the
needs of children and: to
exemplify good citizenship
in all walks of life.

The Royal Purple raises
money through catering,
social events, and craft
soles, but the largest in-
come is from Bingo, which

“enables the group to do-

nate more. money to. the
community.

Some of the local
causes the Royal Purple
supports are: Mills Mem-

before dinner.

It was a full house, with
150 dinners served to local
seniors. After dinner and
some social time spent
chatting with friends came
the part of the: evening
everyone was waiting for.

Playing cards were pas-
sed around to all the se-
niors. Now it was time to
see who would be the
lucky 2003 King and

_ Queen of Hearts. .
The new Queen is Do-

lores Kellar and the 2003
King is Roy Nelson. This
is the second time Roy as
been a King of Hearts, He
was also crowned in 1991.
I puess that’s because he
is so handsome.

After a lot of pictures
were taken, and prizes
were drawn, some of the
seniors stayed to dance to
the music of Dizzy Strings.

It was another great job

- by the. Kinettes,- with help
of the Kinsmen. Thanks for
