Tee Off For Conservation!

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Essex Region Conservation Foundation Fundraising Golf Tournament, and it should prove to be the most successful to date. On July 27, 2006, more than 130 golfers will tee off at Ambassador Golf Club - one of the most spectacular courses in the region! Registered golfers will compete for the chance to win one of four incredible hole-in-one prizes, play 18 holes of golf in this scramble style tournament. A delicious steak barbeque dinner is included, and there are fantastic prizes to be won various contests.

All proceeds from the tournament help protect natural resources in the region. As a result of past success, the Chrysler Canada Greenway and LaSalle Woods have been protected for generations to come. We are now focusing our efforts on Spring Garden Complex and Fairplay Woods, among the most biologically diverse areas in the entire region.

"This really is one of the best valued tournaments in the region," explains Tournament Chair Ron Arkell. "It is reasonably priced, and golfers all have a terrific time playing. You certainly can't beat the location, and most importantly, you are helping to leave a legacy of a sustainable environment for future generations."

There are still some sponsorship opportunities available, and this year's tournament is expected to be a sell out. If you are interested in learning more, contact Phil Darrell-Smith at 776-5209 ext. 398.
