2014 Scotch Tasting a Great Success

We held  our annual Hop Scotch event at the Pender Harbour Golf Course on January 11.   Our thanks to all who contributed, donated and attended.  Special thanks to IGA and Troy Callewaert,   Rona and Russ Jones and  Prudential- Sussex  Alan Stewart.    Dan Volway, Macallan ambassador from Vancouver,  led us through  Macallan's new scotches labelled by colour rather than age. It was very interesting to taste scotches within the same brand ranging in price from $65 to $300 per bottle. German  specialty beers selected by Dave Mochuk provided the "Hops" component.  

John King ably filled the job of auctioneer and we raised a good sum, many thanks to those who contributed baskets to the auction.   

 As a consequence we have donated $2,000 to Polio Plus and the campaign to fight polio, the balance of our net proceeds will go to local projects.
