BarTalk Turns 15 in 2003

BarTalk was introduced in February 1989, when Jim Vilvang, QC was the CBABC President. The newsletter was, in fact, the sixth reincarnation of a Branch newsletter. In 1986 a member survey was conducted which indicated one high priority of CBABC members was to be kept better informed. With this mission BarTalk was born, and its aim endures.

To celebrate the upcoming 15th anniversary of BarTalk, the CBABC has gathered an enviable assortment of prizes from all counties in the province. To enter the contest, simply tell us:

• Your name;

• Your county; and

• One (at least) new BarTalk article or topic you’d like to see us cover during 2003.

Entrants will be eligible to win a prize in their home county. Send your suggestions to cba@bccba.org or fax 604.669.9601 or toll free 1.877.669.9601. Contest closes Friday, March 7, 2003 at 4:30 p.m.
