Recognition Dinner
On June 11 the REIBC held its annual Recognition Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel. With more than 150 people in attendance it was a huge success. Past President Jacques Khouri entertained the guests with his jazz band, Swing 2 beat, as they mingled before dinner.
President Jason Grant with the assistance of Andrea Fletcher – President-Elect, presented over 22 members that have been with the Institute for 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 years with their certificate of recognition while a lively game of trivia tested members and guests on their knowledge of popular culture for the years of recognition. Nick Johnston, son of 28 year member Geoff Johnston, received an award of achievement for his many accomplishments amidst adversity. You can read more his story in the winter 2015 edition of Input that is currently available on our website http://www.reibc.org/input.html.
We are pleased to announce that Robert Laing, CEO of the BC Real Estate Association received the 2015 Award of Excellence. Look for a full report about Robert in the Fall 2015 Input magazine.
We also said goodbye to four Governors who retired from the board this year; Dave Graham and Tracy Wall, who had both served their 8 years on the board, Cheryl Wirsz, and Past President Mandy Hansen.
Before the close of the evening Comedic magician Clinton W. Gray entertained the audience with hilarious antics and amazing magic tricks! We look forward to seeing everyone again next year! Look for more information about the event in the Fall 2015 edition of Input.
