Sir Tom In the News
Here’s our news page. This is the place for articles and, we pledge, we’ll try not to post the stupid stuff we all run across once in awhile.
Video Of Sir Tom Jones At Vancouver Charity Gala 2007; More Photos From This Year, Too
Saturday, June 21st, 2008
Yesterday we posted youtube video of Sir Tom at the Face The World Foundation gala in Vancouver on June 2 (newspaper photo at left).
As he said during that video, this year was his fourth at the event. In fact, Sir Tom, along with Jackie Collins and some others, is an honorary board member of the organization.
Face The World, a strictly local Vancouver charity, was formed in 1991 by Jacqui Cohen, president and CEO of Army & Navy Department Stores (greeting Tom at the 2007 gala in photo at right), the organization’s website says, “in order to give something back to the city she called home. She is still amazed at the generosity of the people of Vancouver and feels very proud of the fact that many lives have been improved through the hard work of those associated with Face The World.”
2007 was Sir Tom’s third time joining the festivities and, as he did again this year, he seemed to have a great time at the Face The World Foundation in 2007. Not much footage of him — or enough to please those of us who visit TJ websites — but it looks like a terrific event. Note: It is video from 2007 despite the number the video voice over guy gives as Tom’s age.
Here are two more photos from the red carpet at the 2008 event. Dom Perignon, the title sponsor, seems intent on teaching everyone how to drink champers! Without them, how would Sir T. and the others ever learn?
Thanks so much to AF for finding the video for us and to the Wonder Woman at vegascommunityonline.com for helping us post it. You’re both terrific!

If you go to the Face the World website there is a promo video by Dom P. for the 2008 event. Tom is there about three/quarter’s way through. It also shows the very beautiful Vancovcer skyline.

Felecia: We would have posted that video except it is just a couple of quick shots. It’s purely and clearly a promo for Dom Perignon and they ain’t payin’ us to show it, so we didn’t. Not worth the effort of editing it to post since Tom’s barely in it. But since you mentioned it, we just added two stills from the promo. And, yes, TJItalian Fan, Tom is really sexy any time — and never “too” sexy. He’s really something, isn’t he?

Good work, Sir Tom! Nice to see someone who has made it so big give back to those less fortunate. BTW, I really don’t think he needs a lesson on how to drink Dom, do you?
