) ROTARY DISTRICT 5040: NEW WESTMINSTER ROTARY CLUBS IN ACTION ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL POT OF GOLD CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT! The 24th Annual Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament, jointly organized by the Royal City Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of New Westminster, was another great success. Under ideal golfing conditions at Mayfair Lakes Golf Club in Richmond, 120 golfers teed off in a Texas Scramble format to compete for team and individual prizes, followed by a delicious buffet and live and silent auctions. With the support of sponsors (including our title sponsor Cassady & Company), donors, golfers and volunteers the event raised over $34,000 this year, bringing the 24 year cumulative total to over $565,000! Also sharing in the net proceeds are Salvation Army and Purpose Society, an alternate educational facility. All of the beneficiaries will use their funds to support projects for youth in our community, including RYLA, Adventure programs, Rotaract, Interact, a hot lunch program in New Westminster Secondary School and Youth Exchange. Plan on joining us on July 14, 2020 for our special, 25th Annual Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament. |
