06.30.2010 :: 2010 ITE Golf Tournament – another successful event!
The ITE Golf Tournament organizer (Jan Voss) reported that the 9th annual edition of this event was held on a very wet June 10th at Burnaby Mountain Golf Course. For the record, this was not the wettest golf tournament we ever had but it sure came close! This event raised over $400 for a new student scholarship that the Section is raising funds for. Thanks to all those that participated! The Greater Vancouver ITE Section would also like to thank the following generous sponsors for making the 2010 ITE Golf Tournament such a success:
· 3M
· Astrographics
· Bunt & Associates
·
· CTS
· Delcan
· Dillon Consulting
· LCP Signal Management
· Opus International
On behalf of the Section and the students who will benefit from the scholarship, we would like to thank Jan Voss for his hard work – without him this tournament wouldn’t be the successful event that it is.
