GCBA Annual Christmas Party 2024: A Night of Elegance and Festivity

A Magical Evening at the Yacht Club

What a magical evening it was! The German Canadian Business Association (GCBA) hosted its annual Christmas Party on December 4th, 2024, at the stunning Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. It was nothing short of spectacular.

From the moment the doors opened, guests were greeted with a warm champagne reception and treated to the enchanting piano melodies of Markus Fritzinger. The festive atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable night filled with holiday cheer and joyous connections. The evening was a celebration of elegance and community, with everyone indulging in a sumptuous buffet dinner that delighted the senses.

A Heartfelt Speech by Andrea Basche

Before the buffet opened, Andrea Basche delivered an inviting and heartfelt speech. She brought us both to laughter and reflection. Andrea reminded us of how fortunate our lives are while highlighting that many are in need of help. She also shared her vision for the GCBA to find a meaningful purpose in the coming year to support a good cause. Her message truly resonated with everyone in the room.

Exciting Christmas Raffle and Generous Prizes

One of the standout moments of the evening was the Christmas raffle, which was a huge success. Attendees had the chance to win incredible prizes. These included diamond earrings, luxury watches, thrilling snowboard tours, and even coveted Canucks tickets. The generosity of our sponsors made this a highlight of the night.
