SPECIAL EVENT: High Tea & Antiques Appraisal with Uno Langmann

High Tea & Antiques Appraisal with Uno Langmann

Saturday, July 18, 2009

10:00 - 4:00

The Bowen Island Historians, Museum & Archives Antique Appraisal and High Tea at Evergreen Hall, donated by owner Maureen Armstrong, was a huge success due to the many volunteers, donations, and outstanding attendance.

The Bowen Island Historians Museum and Archives’ three Board Directors, Jacqui Parker-Snedker, Dan Parkin, Andrew Todd, with the additional help of Darcie Buzzelle and Tim Rhodes, were largely responsible for the overall organization.

Well-known antique appraisers Uno Langmann and daughter Jeanette donated their time and expertise and attracted many people with interesting antiques, paintings, and unusual articles, while entertaining a fascinated audience. Museum Curator Heather Joan Tam, and our two University of Victoria summer students Kara Johancsik and Phoebe Ramsay were busy weeks before selling tickets, preparing displays, and on the day of the big event, setting up displays, waitressing, and greeting guests, who were enjoying the delectable goodies while listening to Michael Creber tinkling the ivories.

Thank you Board Director Marlene Mather, and the many volunteers: Maureen Armstrong, Jane Boddy, Barb Boon, Sarah Deretic, Liz Fincham, Heather Hodson, Sheree Johnson, Peter King, Eric Lawson, Janice MacLean, Julia McLaughlin, Pat Sainiuk, and Neela Todd.

Donations from: Nicola Murray of Floribunda, Alderwood Farm, Nancy Leonard, The Village Baker, Eileen Hall of Savary Island Pie Company, and Notte’s Bon Ton Pastry & Confectionery gave us a considerable discount.

Thank you also to everyone who generously loaned us china and cutlery, and turned out to support this event.

Thank you all most sincerely,

Beverly Underhill
