Membership and Chapter Coordinator

Helen HassardSpring has finally arrived, and I for one can’t wait to dig out my flip-flops. I’m sure most LO members have just one thing on their minds as we watch the mercury rise, and it doesn’t include golf, baseball and barbecues.

But do remember, as you gear-up for the busy season, to take some time later on in order to balance that work with a few hours of play. Here is the exciting line-up later in the summer that our dedicated volunteers and chapter staff have put together:
 

July

Upper Canada Golf Tournament: Fri., July 15 at Briar Fox Golf Club in Marysville.
Toronto Chapter Golf Tournament: The chapter will once again host its annual golf tournament. Details will be posted shortly at www.horttrades.com/chapter/toronto.
 

August

Toronto Baseball Tournament: Sun., Aug. 14 at Richmond Greens Sports Centre and Park.
Golden Horseshoe Golf Tournament: Wed., Aug. 17 at Willow Valley Golf Course.
Durham Chapter’s 5th Annual Barbecue: Thurs., Aug. 25 at T. Arnts Loam Supply, from 3 – 7 p.m.
Annual Waterloo Baseball Tournament: The chapter will once again run the popular baseball tournament. Details will be posted shortly at www.horttrades.com/chapter/waterloo.
Ottawa Golf Tournament: The chapter will announce details about its annual golf tournament shortly. Go to www.horttrades.com/chapter/ottawa for more information.
 

September

Golden Horseshoe Chicken Roast: Thurs., Sept. 15.
Georgian Lakelands Golf tournament: Fri., Sept. 23 at the Valley Course.
London Golf tournament: Fri., Sept. 9 at Pine Knot Golf Course.
