Annual Golf Tournament raises over $7,000

On October 1, 2008 we had the pleasure of hosting our Annual Port Perry Rotary Charity Invitational Golf Tournament at Oakridge Golf club. Seventy five generous players attended and enjoyed the great fall weather and the scramble format golf.

As a result of the generosity of the Players, the Hole Sponsors and the Donors of the Silent Auction items, we were able to realize over $7,000.00, in excess of our costs. These welcomed funds are used primarily to fund the Seniors Christmas Dinner which took place on November 19th at The Scugog Community Center. Over 200 local seniors and disabled persons joined us in this annual holiday celebration, despite a snowy and very chilly evening.

Our club must give a large and sincere THANK YOU to all the Players, the Hole Sponsors and the many Donors of the items for the silent auction. In addition I would like to thank the Rotary Club of Port Perry members who volunteered their time to help staff this important fund raising event.

To the other members of the Golf Committee, Terry Coyne, Richard Gauder, Roy Goodwin, Malcolm Lennox and Jim Lawrence thank you for your guidance and assistance in helping put on a successful tournament.
