The 2nd Annual
(Updated: November 17,
1999) Few of us could have imagined
a better golf tournament than last year's but it happened. This year's
fall golfing expo blossomed from our previous success with unprecedented
records. Not only did we raise more money for the Alumni Bursary, but we
also had more staff and family members join in the fun. We had a wider
representation of people from across Ontario including Coburg, Glencoe,
Peterborough, and (of course) Caledonia. We even had a small fan gallery
consisting of Jenny Cameron and Jennifer Blackburn respectively.
 With
Mother Nature blessing us with yet another beautiful day, our 60+ eager
participants set out for 18 holes of tees and trees. Although everyone's
frustration levels were tested, we all returned to the clubhouse with smiles
(if not short a couple balls). Licking our wounds and describing that putt
we missed by millimetres, we retired to the Aylan-Parker’s backyard where
Ted & Pam were preparing the much anticipated feast. After the steaks,
salads, and sodas were finished, we were pleased to learn that $593 had
been raised for the Alumni Bursary. Each and every participant was then
ecstatic to received a prize for their exceptional game thanks to the unchallenged
and unmirrored organization of Heather “Lorie Kain” Gillies. I'm now reminded
of the famous quote that states, “the winning team succeeds by making the
least amount of mistakes”. Either way, we were all winners by the end of
the day.
 Pausing
for a moment of foresight, I'd like to encourage everyone to attend next
year's tournament but to also make a personal goal of bringing one other
staff member from another year. We had an excellent representation of staff
from recent years and I’d like to expand our circle of joy to staff from
the 1980’s, 70’s, 60’s & 50’s. It will be more fun for all of us. One
further note is that next year's success (as far as we can tell) will be
held at a different course but we'll announce the details once they are
confirmed.
This Co-Chief Executive Officer
would like to thank all of the corporations who donated their wonderful
gifts for all of our worthy players. Heather Gillies deserves our
undying credit and appreciation for her exceptional organization. Ted and
Pam Aylan-Parker are also greatly appreciated for permitting the use of
their house, washroom (which broke), and backyard.
