Political Luncheon
Adrian Dix, Leader of the BCNDP (November 25, 2012) |
Always in a state of learning, I attended my first political luncheon at the Pender Harbour Legion with Adrian Dix, leader of the BCNDP, and Nicholas Simons, MLA of the Sunshine Coast. It was an amazing experience and as you can tell, I had an amazing seat. Upfront and personal watching both Adrian and Nicholas address a captive audience with their public speaking skills, passion, and conviction. I loved listening to their personal stories that brought them to politics and their mutual respect for one another. I must admit, it is much better watching them live, in person, than on TV. It was an excellent opportunity to meet Adrian and Nicholas face-to-face along with their spouses. I connected with several local politicians, familiar faces, and friends. Along with a book promotion and silent auction, this was a worthwhile fundraiser event. Did I forget to mention that the salmon/chicken lunch was absolutely delicious. Thank you volunteers for making this BCNDP event a success.
