On Sunday 20 October the scenic Britannia Yacht Club was the setting for an elegant charity Gala hosted by the Ottawa Service Attache Association (OSAA).
On hand were approximately 80 guests consisting of those foreign military attaches stationed in Ottawa, their spouses and a handful of OSAA’s Canadian friends. The weather cooperated in providing a picture perfect sunset over the Ottawa River. Far more than simply an opportunity to don the mess kit, black tie and ball gowns, this Gala dinner was a charity fundraiser complete with an internationally themed raffle. A total of over $2,500 was raised in support of providing shelter for homeless veterans. That sum equates to the provision of 3 Bedroom doors at the Multifaith Veterans House, an Ottawa based initiative for ex-soldiers in need. Esprit de Corps was honoured to participate and we wish to thank the OSAA dean, Colonel Florin Ureche and his organizing team for hosting such an enjoyable evening.
