Gala
On Saturday, October 22, the 4th Annual AUM Gala took place. The goals of the gala are to recognize our volunteers, the presentation of many awards, including our Hall of Fame inductions and the Mila Oh Spirit Award, and, let's not forget, it's a great opportunity to party! As it happens, the AUM was also celebrating 18 years during the evening that did not disappoint; the 2011 edition was a great success, with nearly 300 people donning their best outfits for the event!
The evening started with a reception and appetizers to thank our 200 yearly volunteers, without whom the AUM would not be what it is today. The volunteers were spoiled: many gifts were given (SAQ gift cards, gift certificates for L'Assommoir, Adidas, Strom et O'Sole Mio as well as clothing from VC Ultimate, Five Ultimate and Breakmark). The wine and the conversation flowed freely, kicking off the 2011 Gala in style!
At 9 pm, the presentations and awards portion of the Gala began. The highlights of the night were without question:
- The induction of two extraordinary women, Shiellah Quintos and Lindsay Bales, into the AUM Hall of Fame;
- The awarding of the Volunteer of the Year to Guylaine and her men (Guylaine Girard, Patrick Frenette, Gustavo Castaño, Etienne Mathieu, Bastien Velsh et Cédric Aubut-Boucher) for their significant involvement in the development of junior and competitive ultimate within the AUM;
- Finally, the race for the Mila Oh Spirit Prize, which saw Real Villeray Ultimate Club take home the honours for a second consecutive year. Honourable mention goes to the Flying Kangaroos who, in their first year found themselves finalists for the Mila Oh Spirit Prize and who gave us quite a show! Mention also goes to Chill'in, whose fine captain Alexandre Benoit put aside his shyness to entertain the crowd!
Thanks to the lively music from DJ Shadow and the excellent photo shoot with Sébastien Crête, the evening finished in the wee hours of the morning, in a state that no one would consider sober... Everyone had an amazing time, and it is with immense honour that we would like to thank our organizing committee: Raynald Nemours, Sonia Scalise, Catherine Mudie, Shiellah Quintos, Alexandra Abboud et Karine Lacerte!
We look forward to seeing you next year for the 5th Annual AUM Gala!!
