Rotary Club donates funds to Wheatley Disaster Relief fund

WHEATLEY – On September 11, the Rotary Club of Leamington hosted its Fore Rotary - FUNdraising Tournament at Talbot Trail Golf Club.

This is the first year that the annual tournament was hosted in Wheatley, and following the Wheatley explosion, the Rotary Club of Leamington decided that all proceeds raised in the fun tournament would be donated to the Wheatley Disaster Relief Fund.

The FUNdraising tournament was generously supported by local and regional businesses and individuals.

Members of the Rotary Club raised $5,000, which was donated to the Wheatley Disaster Relief Fund.
