Community Chair Extraordinaire Rena reported that a single mom in our community has asked for help with the purchase of a shed in order to store her son's wheelchair. He has cerebral palsy and requires a wheelchair to attend school. Rena is in the process of sourcing out a shed and will be needing a few volunteers to help pick up and assemble the shed. Keep watching this space for more info.

 

Paul McM and Randy gave an update on our Veteran's Day Golf Tournament (Oct 4th at Whistle Bear). Over $10,000 has been raised in sponsorship, with another $16,000 left to sell. That may seem like a challenge but our committee is terrific at getting results and we are already sitting at a $5,000 profit. WHOO HOO!  The tournament is open to 144 golfers and only 70 spots are left.  Vanessa is helping to arrange accommodation at the Hilton for veterans and other players coming in from out of town. Items for the auction and the goodie bags are needed. If you have anything to offer, please let a committee member know or mention it at a meeting and we will make sure you get connected. Rumour has it that Dr Tom has been commissioned to do painting for the auction. Committee consensus is that this is NOT to be self portrait as they don't want to have to make this a PG or X rated event. 

 

President Rajbir noted some upcoming dates and reported that he and his wife, Kashmir, will be in BC next week. Special guests will be hosting next week's meeting. Stay tuned in to your emails or simply attend next week to find out who.
