Page 10 Cassiar Courier January 1984 If you are looking for an evening of elegant dining togeth- er with a warm and casual atmosphere, then you need only to travel as far as the Arts and Crafts building on an evening when the Society of Arts and Crafts is hosting one of the special dinners which they are presenting over the winter months. On November 18, the Society held the second in their series of gourmet dining. In this they were assisted by chefs John Shepherd and Tim Walters who displayed their culinary expertise in the preparation of a French menu to ' delight any palate. A number of hard working waiters and . waitresses capably served cocktails, dinner and wine to the 50 people who were lucky enough to obtain reservat- ions for the evening. Who knows if it was the port wine in the fruit cocktail or . the after - dinner sherry that tick- led Peter Cartwright’s vocal chords, for soon after dinner was completed the Arts and Crafts building rang with some original lyrics to popular tunes, Another 50 people were added to Gary Periard’s blacklist before the evening was over but we all hope to be back in his good graces by the time the next dinner is presented.
