African Nights Vancouver - great success, great fun, great attendance

The African Nights evening on September 21st (Tuesday) 2010 was a great success. Around 350 people attended and enjoyed food, African dancing, and music and an excellent silent auction containing items of all types and values (including a Roberto Luongo (Canucks and Olympic Gold Medal winner 2010) goalie stick).
