On June 25 we were happy to sponsor a hole for the Hospice Quinte Golf Tournament as well as enter a team to play a round. Fun was had by all and we look forward to participating again next year.
Instead of our breakfast meeting on Thursday, February 20th, we held a fellowship evening with Club members, partners and friends at Signal Brewery. Owner Richard Courneyea provided a tour of the facility as well as sharing the colourful history of Corbyville, his inspirational vision for the redevelopment of the community. Club members and also sampled the Brewery's many excellent ales and lagers and enjoyed the fine dining the Brewery offers.
Past-President Geoff Cudmore was joined by Club members and Operation Rednose volunteers, Janet Mathany and Antonina Durham to accept a cheque for $7,750.00 from Operation Rednose. This donation more than doubles the funds raised at our recent Curl for Kids bonspiel that was in support of Camp Trillium, Quinte SailAbility, and our Bayside Secondary Scholarship. We look forward to working with Camp Trillium to come up with this year's project.
The annual Curl for Kids bonspiel was held at the Quinte Curling Club on Saturday, February 1st. 12 Teams participated to raise funds for CAmp Trillium, Quinte SailAbility and our Bayside Secondary Scholarship.Last year our Club launched its first Art and Wine Auction hosted at Sans Souci in downtown Belleville. We successfully raised almost four thousand dollars for local charitable organizations. This year our 2nd annual event is scheduled for October 18, 2019 and will once again be hosted at Sans Souci. This event promises to be better than ever with the addition of not only wine and art, but fine handcrafts. Tickets are $20 and include a dessert bar with sensational treats by Chef Sheridan. So grab a few friends and join us for this fun event. Tickets maybe purchased on line or from your friendly Quinte Sunrise Rotary member.
