The Grand Valley Chapter held the annual golf tournament on September 27, 2009 at the Victoria Park Golf Club West in Guelph. It was a great day for golf and all 30 golfers enjoyed a great steak dinner afterwards. It was a close run as the teams of Al McMillan, Barry Hinschberger, Tony and Carrie Smith tied the Gamsby and Mannerow team of Dave Brown, Glenn Anderson, Steve Conway and Paul Mclennan for the win. The putting contest also ended up tied forcing Dennis Zvanovec to win in a putt–off!
Longest Drive Gary Cockram.

A message from the Chair
This year the Grand Valley Chapter has taken on the challenge to promote Technology week at a local Public School in Kitchener. This is the first time that the Grand Valley Chapter has developed a program based toward children between the grades 1 through 6. Our sub committee has meet with the principal and faculty and they are all very excited about the commitment and events were are planning to have at their school. Our theme this year is renewable energy. We have decided to discuss three major forms of renewable energy with the children. They are Wind power, Solar power and Water power. Our presentation will be base on these topics. We will engage the children and challenge them, based on their skill level to develop wind turbines, and where to locate them etc. Each grade level will have specific tasks to complete by the end of the week and present to their peers. This is a huge under taking and will be driven by GVC member volunteers. We are looking for more volunteers to assist in the preparation of this monumental event. Please contact Mike Laurie, A.Sc.T at mike.laurie@melloul.com if you can help out. We have set up a sub committee and have met several times already. We will be meeting however bi-weekly throughout the summer Starting July 1.
Have a great summer.

GVC - Golf Day
Another great day enjoyed by all. We had beautiful sunshine for the tournament on Saturday September 6th. There was a total of 38 golfers this year for golf and dinner. We had longest drive and closest to the hole for both the mens and ladies. We had a putting competition that saw some great putting to win, and a surprise door prize for a DVD player complete with a one year warranty.
Vic West put on another great dinner which included steak, veggies dessert and coffee. There were lots of great prizes this year thanks due to the generosity of the companies that donated prizes. Everyone left the event happy and full.

Family Night in Elora
Over 20 people attended the Night at the Races at the the Grand River Raceway in Elora on Monday May 12, 2008. The weather held up and the evening was perfect for the races. Special thanks goes to Melodie Murray for organizing the event. We were able to have a race sponsored because of the size of the group that attended.
Below is
