2006 Golf Tournament

2006 ANCASTER COMMUNITY SERVICES GOLF TOURNAMENT RAISES $15,000
Ancaster, Ontario (June 13, 2006):

Ancaster Community Services today announced that
its 2006 annual Community Links charity golf tournament raised more than $15,000 in
support of vital town programs such as Meals on Wheels, Let’s Do Lunch, volunteer
assisted driving, youth employment and family outreach.

“This is an outstanding result that will make a major difference to the quality and
quantity of services we can support and deliver in Ancaster over the next year,” said
Warren Shannon, Chair of the Ancaster Community Services Golf Committee. “We had
well over 100 golfers, as well as more than two dozen corporate and hole sponsors who
combined to make this year’s Community Links at Knollwood our premier fundraising
event. We sincerely thank all participants, including volunteers, who helped to make
Community Links a highlight of Heritage Days.”

Since the first Community Links five years ago, the tournament has raised some $65,000
for Ancaster community programs that benefit those in need here in our community.
Last year’s proceeds helped Ancaster Community Services and its 130 volunteers:

• serve over 2,000 Meals on Wheels
• deliver gifts of food and clothing to 22 children and 10 local families at Christmas
• distribute over 100 food vouchers
• meet the information and referral needs of more than 5,000 people
• make 880 trips to transport seniors and the physically challenged to medical and
other appointments

“Community Links is about raising funds and awareness of the growing need for
outreach in our community,” added Mr. Shannon. “Those who participated understand
the vital link that must be strengthened and sustained if we are to preserve Ancaster’s
heritage of caring for our neighbours.”
