Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley
15th Annual Golf Tournament
Raises $11,500
Community Living UOV held their 15th Annual Golf Tournament at the Oaks of Cobden on Friday August 19th. Celebrating their 15th year of raising funds & partnering these dollars with money received from the United Way, this year's golf tournament had some very exciting firsts!!!!!!!! The excitement began with East Side Mario's mobile kitchen setting up on the 10th hole providing complimentary side dishes for all the golfers. Corporate sponsors this year included Tony Donnelly, Cassidy's Transfer & Storage, and EGM Insurance. The tournament boasted 2 holes in one! At the EGM $10,000.00 hole-in-one (at Hole #3), Neil Lloyd of the Lloyd Brothers Team, surprised everyone, including himself, by earning a hole-in-one!!! Cheers broke out from the Lloyd brothers and could be heard up and down the fairways! This is the first time the Hole in One has been Won at the annual community living tournament. In addition, Terry Lapierre pocketed a hole in one on the 9th hole. The Tournament Champions, Jim Badgley, Jamie Markus, Ron Barrington and Rene Sauve, their first year entering this tournament, came in after 18 holes of golf with a score of 61.
CLUOV Board President Christine Reavie, master of ceremonies, took time to acknowledge the tremendous contributions from all the golfers and businesses throughout the Upper Ottawa Valley and to acknowledge the golf committee members for another successful tournament. . The majority of these funds are used towards funding community based summer and recreational activities for adults and children with intellectual disabilities. Final calculations show the tournament raised approximately $11,500.00.
Other notable winners were: Closest to the Pin, Bruce Lloyd, Debbie Robinson, Shane Mutlow, Jose Clouthier & Steve Bennett. Longest Drive specialty hole winners were Mark Bruce, Katherine Hickey, Shane Mutlow & Taylor Turcotte. Longest Putt winners were Dave Jones & Bruce Lloyd.

May 2011
MAY is Community Living Month in Ontario. This month gives Ontarians an important opportunity to reflect on the valued presence of people with intellectual disabilities in our community.
This May we want to share the message that people who have an intellectual disability want to share in all citizenship experiences, responsibilities and opportunities. This includes pursuing the most basic human rights, and life choices like getting an education; finding a good job with decent pay; owning a home in a safe and welcoming community; having friendships and giving back to their community.
