Thank you, thank you so very much....to everyone who participated in our sixth annual fundraising golf tournament. Thanks to all of you as this was absolutely our best tournament to date.

The weather really co-operated. In fact, it was really hot on the day of our golf tournament, but with many thanks to Christine Van who provided some ice-cold Red Bull for all the golfers, they were able to keep hydrated on the greens.

It was a fun day with lots of the auld craic, and we look forward to seeing all of you again next year. Watch The Celtic Connection for location and date time for our 2010 tournament.

Special thanks to Marie Morris, Louise Henry and Colleen Carpenter, who helped out on our registration desk on the day of the tournament.
