The Terminal City Club was decked in holiday trimmings for the World AIDS Day Luncheon in support of A Loving Spoonful. Drawing the support of Vancouver’s top business leaders, this annual event – now more than a decade old – raises more than $60,000 each year. That’s enough to serve 16,900 meals to people living with HIV and AIDS in the Greater Vancouver Area.
