Saturday, October 17, was an unforgettable evening of celebration for Golfaround Inc.™ We hosted a fun-filled Mardi Gras party to commemorate 30 years of success, complete with fabulous table decorations, colorful balloon bouquets, and a lively casino. The 120 guests included both current and former members, along with many special guests.
The staff at Wingfield Golf Club did an outstanding job in helping make the evening a success. A special thank you goes to Liz, Danielle, and Carol Anne for their exceptional efforts.
During the evening, we premiered our new video, 30 Years on the Green, and that was when the surprizes began. Kristy had secretly arranged a very special tribute to Di in recognition of her 30 years of dedication and commitment.
As we started returning to our table, Tiffany Gordon, the first female President of the PGA of Canada, asked us to remain standing because she had a few more words to share. What followed was truly unbelievable. Tiffany presented Kristy and Di with not one, but five certificates of congratulations and recognition for their commitment to women's golf.
These honors were received from the Honourable Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta; the Honourable Minister of Tourism and Sport Andrew Boitchenko; Golf Canada Heather Fattore Manager Inclusion Programs; the Honourable Pierre Poilievre Leader of the Official Opposition; and Shuvaloy Majumdar, MP for Calgary Heritage whose tribute stated:
"Golfaround has done something rare: built a space where women can learn, compete, and belong without intimidation, without barriers, and with genuine joy. Fifty golf facilities across Alberta are part of that story. So are thousands of women who found their confidence on the fairway."
We feel incredibly blessed, humbled, and honored to receive such recognition. While we do not yet know who initiated this remarkable tribute, we are deeply grateful and immensely proud of what Golfaround has accomplished over the past 30 years
