For the first time in years it didn’t rain on EWCS’s annual Golf Tournament fundraiser.
The weather was a small piece of the success of the day. Every golfer spot was sold weeks in advance and the event raised more money than ever before.
Over 140 players enjoyed 18 holes at Guelph Lakes Golf & Country Club, where they had an opportunity to win a variety of prizes that included trips and $10,000 cash courtesy of RBC in Erin & Hillsburgh.
“It is really the volunteers who deserve so much of the credit for this year’s success. The committee members have been working for months to find sponsors and they did an amazing job”, said Caroline Turnbull, EWCS’s marketing and revenue development coordinator.
The winning team this year was John Deschamp, Martin Quigley, Peter Noakes & Scott Belanger.
New this year, EWCS introduced a Service Group Contest for golfers from any of the local service clubs.
The first winners of the trophy were Mary Cunningham, Wilson Belford, and Wolfgang and Chris Stichnothe – which is a mixed team of Optimists and Rotarians.
The staff and volunteers are already looking forward to the next one.
That tournament is on the third Tuesday in July next year..
