The December 15th Holiday Feast at the Whistler Golf Club was greatly enjoyed. The food presented by The Venue Chef's Ryan and Melissa was fantastic. It was said by many - they had not tasted better or more tender turkey. Appetites were whetted by a rowdy game of Secret Santa featuring items from the Whistler Re-Use-It. Laughter was one of the great sauces of the evening! Our guest from Mumbai,  Kaustav Ghosh managed to arrive in time, by bus, to enjoy the feast and is shown with President elect Gill Forester exchanging flags. Kaustav is moving to Vancouver however is from a Rotary Club in Mumbai.
