Guess who came to dinner?

Why, it was members of the Gentlemen Songsters and Centre Belles at the Chemainus 55+ Activity Centre’s annual Christmas dinner Friday night.

The two choirs provided the entertainment with seasonal fare, both the familiar carols and some lesser-known songs, much to the delight of the audience.

Patricia Ordynec is now the director of the ladies choir while Hugh Morrison continues in his longtime role as men’s choir director.

Sue Cancade provided the musical accompaniment on the piano.

It was a great evening of camaraderie, a great dinner and delightful Christmas music.
