We are ready to roll with our SIXTH annual Al Hamilton and Friends Golf Classic at Cougar Creek Golf Resort on Thursday, July 24th.  This is our major fundraising event for this year, and it will allow us to undertake many of our projects in Belize, Cambodia and, of course, Edmonton.  One hundred and fourty-four golfers, many of whom are not Rotarians will get a chance to see "Rotarians At Work".  It is a chance for us to show them what we do, and how we have fun doing it.
 
If you wish to volunteer but don't find your name on the following list, please contact Brian Thompson and let him know about your availability for this event.  If you see your name on the list and you can't make it, please let Brian know ASAP.  For those new volunteers who haven't been to Cougar Creek before, it is located on the south side of Highway 16 west, 7.9 kilometers west of where highways 16 and 16A come together west of Stony Plain.
