‘Link up’ success

Dear Editor:

What an awesome day!  It started out with disappointment due to the cancellation of the golf tournament because of the inclement weather, but that did not dampen spirits.  Some of the golfers joined the euchre tournament with a record 64 euchre players.  

The annual Link Up with Duff’s “Fun Day with A Purpose” was held on May 23. We had a full house at the Puslinch Community Centre.  A vibe was in the air which added to the festivities. Lots of fun and laughter. A soldout crowd of 126 golfers, 64 euchre players and 190 hearty eaters enjoyed a fun filled day from start to finish to support Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo Wellington and Hospice Wellington.  

We do not have final tally of monies raised, but our event was another huge success thanks to all our many supporters and sponsors.  We are hopeful we will be able to provide the same or even more financial aid to our two organizations.   

Josh Heller was our champion MVP to take the honour of wearing the Duff’s Masters Green Jacket.  Margaret Hauwert was the recipient of the Euchre Crown with high score.  

During the amazing steak dinner with all the trimmings, prepared by our amazing Judy and her crew and Ken and Bob on the barbecues, our emcees Alan and Bill kept everyone entertained with jokes and trivia.  

We had several silent auction items generously donated by community members and local businesses and everyone was able to take home a prize.  

Two elderberry pies and one apple prepared by our baker extraordinaire Bill were auctioned off by Ken in the live auction, along with Marion’s famous fruit cake. Also auctioned was a patio party gift package generously donated by GrandWay Events Centre in Elora.

We are grateful to the participants, corporate sponsors, local businesses, organizations and individuals in the community and all the workers who helped to make this day a marvelous success.

Thank you to you, Duff’s community and friends!
