Softball Tournament great success
On Saturday June 8, 2002 a hard working team from Revenue Canada won the third annual Golden Kiwanis charity softball tournament at the Ottawa Business Park. The runners up were the Kiwanis Club of Rideau.

There were seven teams this year including The Royal Bank, Salvation Army, John Howard Society, Parkwood Presbyterian Church and Golden Opportunities for Youth. A total of approx. $1,400 was raised and will go towards Kiwanis community projects and programmes for youth at risk.

Once again, corporations such as Coca Cola, Tim Horton’s, Loebs, Ottawa Senators, Famous Players, and the National Arts Centre assisted in a enourmous way by donating food, refreshments and over 20 door prizes.

“ I was really impressed by the sportmanship and professionalism which was displayed by all teams”, said tournament organizer George Romas.
