CONNECTIONS would like to give their heart-felt thanks to the Oakville community for helping them smash through the $100,000 mark in money handed over for our community hospital. They would like to thank all the golfers, who made this always popular tournament sell out, once again, as well as the many businesses and individuals who contributed through sponsorship or who helped to stack the always popular prize table. The three firms that make up CONNECTIONS are: · Vince Tomenson Dickerson Insurance Brokers; · Assante · and Cumming & Cumming Wealth Management. Next year, CONNECTIONS will hand the reigns of this venerable tournament to the very hard working and respected Rotary Club, Oakville Trafalgar chapter. And past president of the club, Peter Zal^irf, will take over as the chair. Fortunately, Don Vince, co-chair for the past two years is a member of the sen/ice club, and his hard work and expert ise will continue to be available as he will remain on the organizing committee.
