RCLHP 13th Charity Golf Fundraiser a Magnificent Success
 
The Hyde Park Rotary Club of London held their annual golf tournament on August 23rd at West Haven Golf & Country Club. This was the first year holding a “9 & Dine” format whereby participants play 9 holes followed by dinner, prizes and an auction with 40% of the proceeds to be contributed to Wellspring.
On top of golfing on a great course, there were three grand raffle prizes each consisting of 8 bottles of wine, 6 bottles of beer, and $65 in cheeses that raised over $1,800. In addition there were 6 live auction items that raised $1,090.  We also received $5,500 in sponsorships from our Corporate Sponsor, Scotiabank, and the 14 hole sponsors.
 
With perfect golfing weather and an incredible dinner put on by the wonderful Westhaven staff, the event was a great success!  The event raised over $9,950 of which $4,000 will be used to support Wellspring!  With over 40 door prizes (see image below) to be drawn nearly everyone went home with a prize. 
 
Our next "9 & Dine" golf tournament will be held on Wednesday August 22, 2018 also at West Haven Golf & Country Club.  If you wish to be informed about this event when registration opens, please reach out to David Knoppert via email.
