Cat’s Meow - May 2015 By Catherine (Cat) Barr
Gala season is in full swing and everyone is dressing up for a good cause. The Vancouver International Auto Show Gala started the season with a new kind of car show, as did the newly revamped BC Army Gala which paid tribute to our troops in style. It was also an honour to be asked to be this year’s Gala Chair for the BC Lupus Society and help raise money for this very special cause. Congrats to everyone involved and thank you for your hard work.
