19 · Thursday, July 8, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com Civitan golfs for OTMH Cuvee for kids The Civitan Club of Oakville's third annual Charity Golf Tournament at Glen Abbey will support the Oakville Hospital Foundation July 17. Funds raised will benefit Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital's (OTMH) Child and Adolescent Inpatient Services Unit, providing inhospital treatment for children and teens when they most need help. Last year, the Civitan Club of Oakville donated $10,000 in student desks and chairs to the 10-patient unit. Most of the unit's patients are in grade or high school while being hospitalized and continue their studies at the unit). Until the Civitan donation, the hospital rooms didn't have desks and chairs for the student-patients. Last year, OTMH Program Leader for Mental Health, Vivian Demian, spoke at the club's 2009 golf tournament and dinner where Demian outlined the growing need for child and adolescent mental healthcare in Halton Region. It inspired club members to designate the Hospital Foundation to be recipient of one half of the proceeds from the club's 2010 tournament. The other half of the proceeds will be distributed to other Oakville charities and community support groups. This year, the Civitan Club of Oakville has also announced the addition of an extraordinary $50,000 hole-in-one at its third annual tournament in honour of the service club's 50th anniversary. The special $50,000 hole complements two other hole-in-ones: Knar Jewellery's (last year Knar offered a Rolex watch and diamond earrings to the potential ace golfer) and Mercedes-Benz of Oakville's three-year lease of a 2010 C350 4Matic car (worth $40,000). The popular local tournament is near being a sellout as it makes its home at Glen Abbey, the original home of the Canadian Open and sees many previous players returning and new ones registering given an interest in support the Oakville hospital. President James McCannell, who is at the club's helm during its 50th anniversary serving the Oakville community, said, "Our tournament not only supports community groups who help people in need right here in Oakville, but for our golfing guests the $850 per foursome fee represents incredible value." The fee includes 18 holes at the premier Glen Abbey course, a cart, a $75 registration gift package and dinner. It's less than a member of the general public seeking to play Glen Abbey would pay.

It is dedicated to building good citizenship by providing a volunteer organization of clubs serving individual and community needs with an emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities. The name `Civitan;' is derived from Latin `Civitas' or `Citizen'. While individual clubs are free to pursue their own projects, on an international level Civitan is focused on service to the developmentally disabled. In 1990, the Civitan International Research Center was established on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a $20 million grant from the Civitan International Foundation. Civitan has chapters in 28 countries including 31 Civitan Clubs in Canada. The Civitan Club of Oakville was founded in 1960. The Oakville Club's funding is generated by many community projects staffed by volunteer Civitans including: the Saturday Oakville Civitan Farmers' Market at Hopedale Mall (since 1979), Mayfair Delta (every second Thursday), sales of Claxton Christmas cake and the annual charity golf tournament.
