Spirits were high and festivities abundant as Lower Mainland Allies celebrated in Wild Wild Western-style at the 2009 Alliance Appreciation Event. Held this past February at the Rocky Mountaineer Train Station in Vancouver, which was brilliantly transformed into an authentic Western town, the annual event is an opportunity for Power Smart to extend a big thank you to our industrial and commercial Alliance members for their fine work with energy conservation.
Alliance members from across the Lower Mainland donned their favourite Western gear for a well-deserved night at the Wild West Casino. After enjoying ample refreshments and catching up with colleagues, guests wandered through saloon doors into the bustling casino, where the games and high stakes were in full force. Throughout the evening, guests were invited to buy raffle tickets for this year’s great gold, silver and bronze event prizes.
About halfway through the event, guests were ushered into a small vaudeville-style theatre for the awards portion of the evening. Ten Alliance members were recognized this year for their achievements, with each recipient receiving a black crystal wall plaque, engraved with the company and Power Smart logos as well as a personal message acknowledging his/her company’s contributions.
The excitement continued during the ensuing prize draws as guests waited to see if they had won one of the nine coveted prizes, which included a PING golf putter, iPod touch and Vancouver panorama tour for two, courtesy of Harbour Air.
Bets are already on about the theme for next year’s event. Congratulations to this year’s recipients!
