On Friday June 4th, over one hundred women golfers teed off to raise funds to restore sight to women and girls in Africa. The Marine Drive Ladies Golf Tournament, organized by Diane Hardouin, was a resounding success and raised $15,700 to provide eye care through Seva's programs in Tanzania. Our thanks to Diane Hardouin for her months of hard work and to her fellow committee members, Esther Adamson, Dianne Cook, Sue Biddle, Naz Remtulla, Louise Forsythe, Lynn Neilsen, Carolyn Butt, Margaret Gillis and Michele Holwill. Kudos to David Hardouin and his hardworking  group of guys; Tim Tait and his great team of professionals; Wade Hawksworth and his links crew; Haymond Ng and the clubhouse staff; and Ron Pauls and the office personnel.
