One Week in Whistler
Spend five nights, six days at The Westin Resort & Spa in a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium that sleeps six. Go in the winter and enjoy some of the best skiing in North America, or go in the summer and spend your time on one of two championship golf courses or bike on some amazing trails.
Dessert Auction Volunteers Needed!
The Westside Spirit Auction is right around the corner featuring the ever-popular “Dessert Dash” This annual tradition takes place after dinner at the Westside Spirit Auction. It features a luscious assortment of delectable treats all provided by Westside parents.
Tables are ranked based on the total contributions made on the bid ticket in the dessert auction envelope. The highest bidding table is called first to pick their dessert from the bounteous display. Five seconds later the announcer calls out another table number and the “runner” grabs a dessert from the table, and so on, and so on… until all tables have selected a dessert.
Generosity, a nimble runner and a refined sweet tooth will score your table a mouth-watering and memorable taste experience. This activity is fast-paced, fun, and always a nice money-maker for Westside. And, it can’t happen without you. Please go online and sign up to provide a dessert, or sign-up in the main hall. Your donation can be homemade or from your favorite restaurant or bakery.
