THE second annual Cigar Night, held on June 16 by the Rotary Club of GB Sunrise, was very well attended as the Grand Bahama community turned out in support of two worthy causes.
Proceeds from the event went to the Big Brother/Big Sister Programme, and the Safe Swim Zone project.
The Grand Bahama Sailing Club was the venue and took on a vintage Havana theme for the evening, where a large cross section of Grand Bahama enjoyed Latin-inspired music, food, drink, dancing and entertainment.
"The turnout was tremendous," one organiser said.
Guests enjoyed live music by the Cigar Nights Jazz Band (Ralph Munnings on sax, Pat Boston on keyboard, and Marina Gottlieb Sarles singing).
Professional Salsa dancers were on hand with Latin dance lessons, and Graycliff Restaurant in Nassau provided a genuine Cuban cigar roller, who treated cigar aficionados to fresh hand-rolled cigars.
A unique Chinese Auction was also held, with many winners taking home superb prizes.
The night has quickly become an event the Grand Bahama community looks forward to each year.
It is held at the beginning of the Rotary Club year to raise funds and bring in the new Rotary president.
This year, outgoing president Ken Saunders turned over the gavel to Ivan Chestnut.
