WaterCan Hosts Its Ninth Annual Embassy Dinner

On Friday, May 2, WaterCan held its Ninth Annual Embassy Dinner in Ottawa’s fabulous Aberdeen Pavilion. As usual, the event fulfilled its promise of a sparkling evening of international gourmet food and drink. Embassies and High Commissions representing 46 countries participated in this important fundraiser for WaterCan, and tantalized the taste buds of over 400 guests. Joining the diplomatic community in making the evening special were Canadian companies Hernder Estate Wines, Iroquois Water, Ace Bakery and Timothy’s World Coffee.
A Silent Auction featuring over 150 items kept the crowd busy throughout the evening. WaterCan was fortunate to have obtained the support of many corporate, diplomatic and private donors, which resulted in a fantastic array of items put up for competitive bidding. Co-auctioneers Dave Smith and Christina Lubbock presented a Live Auction during the evening. This featured such rich offerings as dinners for as many as 16 people and up in the residences of several ambassadors, various haute couture ensembles, travel packages, and a 4-year lease for an Audi sedan.
“Go Travel Direct” and the Embassy of the Dominican Republic co-sponsored the raffle prize of an all-inclusive 1-week trip for 2 people to the 4-star Sosua Bay Hotel in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. What a prize!
WaterCan thanks all the participants, donors, sponsors, and volunteers who came together to make this a fantastic event. Now, on to the 10th Annual Embassy Dinner! Hope to see you all there in 2004!
