Editor: A big thank you to the members of the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame for their recent Drive, Chip & Putt challenge for the youth of Chatham-Kent.

It was a fabulous day at Maple City Golf Course. All the kids had a terrific time showing off their skills on the golf course. My granddaughter, who was visiting from Tampa, Fla., was thrilled to be able to take part in this event.

The day was very well organized by the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame. The kids were divided into appropriate age categories and all had the opportunity to hit three drives, three chips and three putts.

There was a volunteer with each age group, as well as many, many volunteers at each event, responsible for measuring distances of chips and putts, recording the scores, volunteers to ensure everyone crossed the road safely, volunteers at the registration desk, the list goes on.

Where would our community be without volunteer support? They are the backbone of so many events in Chatham-Kent.

Following the event, the families were invited to a complimentary barbecue hotdog luncheon, with the food donated by Maple City Bakery, Dover Corn and RSD Mainte- nance.

There were other sponsors for this event as well, people who believe in supporting the youth of Chatham-Kent. Thank you to

John Dengel, Maple City Golf Course, Maple City Marine, Peak Athletics and Peach Physiotherapy. This day was provided free of charge for all the participants. What an amazing opportunity for our youth. It does take a village to raise a child. Thanks to the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame members and sponsors for highlighting this message.
