Swing a club like Tiger!
Hurry, hurry – there’s only a few days left to register for the IWN golf tournament which will be held on June 13, at 11 AM at Mylora Golf Club at Sidaway, Richmond.

It’s a Texas Scramble (or best ball) which makes it a fun tournament for golfers of every level and it’s followed by a great dinner and prizes for all.

The cost is $65 including green fees and dinner.  It’s always a fabulous day of fun (and we always get fine weather for it) so come on over and join us. Come on your own or invite all your golfing friends!

To register, call Marie Morris at (604) 929-1042 and send your cheque to Marie (#35-3939 Indian River Drive, North Vancouver V7G 2P6) so she can confirm your reservation. Marie is now finalizing numbers, so give her a ring now!

Thank you to European Festival IWN volunteers
Claire Fox, Karen Wettig and Martina Dillon gracefully and ably brought the Irish presence – the stand at the cultural tent and the marketplace – to this year’s annual European Festival. They were supported by IWN Irish Woman of the Year 2010 Annette Savage who bore the Irish flag at the opening parade. Thank you also to the team of volunteers who helped with setting up and with parking. – Siobhan Airey
