www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday December 12, 2007 - 37 Christmas concert to benefit memorial fund A Christmas Gospel Concert on Saturday, Dec. 15 is the first fundraising effort for The Carol Hamilton Basketball Foundation. The foundation is in memory of Canadian national basketball player Carol Hamilton, an Oakville resident who died of cancer four and a half years ago. "She left a huge legacy behind her," said her father, Glen. "We're trying to get some kids playing basketball in her name." This summer, Glen and his wife Lystra will start the Carol Hamilton Junior Basketball Camp, a two-weeklong camp for basketball players. The camp is dedicated to the development of youth on the court, providing children with a chance to enhance their basketball skills, and giving them access to the equipment required. Carol trained at a home court, Glen said, where she also helped kids with their skills in her spare time. "We're trying to keep that going," said Glen. "After weeping for her for so many years now, we're ready." All money raised for the Carol Hamilton Junior Basketball camp Fund will assist in sending kids to the basketball camp. The inaugural event, a Christmas Gospel Fundraising Concert, takes place Saturday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. at the Walton Memorial United Church, 2489 Lakeshore Rd. W. Glen and Lystra, gospel singers and recording artists, will be singing, along with guest artists Katrina Balascas, a gospel recording artist, anointed gospel singer Dion Bollers and a graduate of young achievers of Halton and Gospel soloist, Eboni A. Branch. The host and master of ceremonies is Olive Rose Steele, former president of the Jamaican Caribbean Association. Tickets cost $20. For more information, call 416779-4899 or 647-887-6443. HOW TO ACHIEVE TRUE WEALTH. We all seek it, but very few o meaning of `true wealth'. I am money you have, but being tota Firstly, I believe most of us set o looking for the quick fix. We con kid ourselves; most of us spend future well being. Furthermore w management yet somehow feel I am a strong advocate of financ considers all aspects of your fin a plan to suit your individual a The task of a professional fina by understanding their lifesty complex and not so friendly fin Having dealt with literally h confirmed my belief that the on plan, one that is not limited to Sounds simple enough, but is r including: - Our lack of planning. - A vast financial industry more concerned with selling products rather than solutions. - Our preoccupation with spending. - Who wants to think about boring financial planning? As a professional wealth manager I challenge clients to really think about their lives. This is a necessary starting point in most instances because we're generally talking about changing people's behavior and spending patterns if they are to realize their dreams and find `true wealth'. A major stumbling block to achieving this is that our lives are very complex. For this reason we need to divide it into manageable sections, which make it possible for us to decide how we wish to live and what it is that we wish to accomplish in our lives. I strongly believe that to be happy you must have dreams. Success, however, generally requires a plan. It is with this in mind that I partner with clients to develop, implement and monitor a holistic financial plan to ensure their dreams become reality. In the simplest terms, our lives can be divided into five categories; financial, health, relationships, adventure and spiritual. While these are obviously interconnected, each one is distinct and should be considered separately. We then focus on incorporating financial plans that will allow you to achieve `true wealth' which is not so much about the money as it is about contentment in our lives, finding that elusive happiness by realizing our wonderful dreams.
