Vancouver, BC – The first-ever Guide Dog Golf Tournament held by Northwest District Lodge 250 was an outstanding success raising more than $36,000. “We had over 75 golfers and more non-golfers for the dinner,” said DL250 Business Representative Al Cyr. “I was really getting worried as we were getting closer to the date as to what kind of participation we were going to have, but all of those who attended told me they had a great time and they would be back next year.” Added Cyr, “this will only get better and I am sure that the number of participants and the dollars raised will only increase in the future.”
“I would really like to thank all of our sponsors, our members and our guests for what they have done to help make life just a little bit better for those who are visually impaired,” said Cyr. “This money we raised will help make someone’s life better and we feel good about that.”
“Al Cyr was the driving force in this endeavor and with the assistance of all the DL250 business representatives, secretary-treasurer, office staff and volunteers, did a great job in having this event come off as successfully as it did,” said DL 250 Directing Business Representative Walter Gerlach.
