Humane Society launches first annual golf tournament
A FOND FAREWELL
LEAMINGTON — Staff and officials at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre said a fond farewell to the vaccination clinic set-up inside the complex on Saturday, August 21. The centre closed its doors after having administered 45,121 COVID-19 vaccinations. According to Mayor Hilda MacDonald, the staff went above and beyond to create a “well-oiled machine” which in turn created a safe and comfortable space for local residents to get inoculated against the virus. The vaccination clinic opened on Monday, March 8. Photo courtesy of Municipality of Leamington

WINDSOR-ESSEX COUNTY – Animal lovers, supporters of the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society (WECHS) and community minded businesses, organizations and individuals are coming together for the newest signature event to benefit the WECHS: the 1st Annual Putts for Paws Classic Golf Tournament presented by LiUNA! 625 on Friday, September 24 at Sutton Creek Golf Club. “Partnering in key fundraisers that support vital organizations like the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society are the focus of our community commitment,” said Rob Petroni, LiUNA! 625 business manager. “We are pleased to be the presenting sponsor of the 1st Annual Putts for Paws Tournament and look forward to participating in a fun and successful event.” It is going to be a fun-filled day where participants can enjoy a round of golf, participate in the door prize zone, and experience the results of giving second
chances firsthand: several animal alumni will be on hand to meet players as they depart for their round of golf and professional pictures will be taken. “Events like Putts for Paws are key to the life-saving work we are doing right here in Windsor and Essex County,” said WECHS executive director Melanie Coulter. “Rescuing animals in need, giving second chances, and bringing pets and people together are only possible with our community’s support.” As golfers play the course, each hole will tell a story about how the support, donations and efforts of the community directly impact lives here in Windsor/ Essex and help give second chances to deserving furry friends. Golfers will be treated to a one-of-akind experience for their entry fee. If you are interested in golfing or sponsoring the event, contact golf@windsorhumane.org or call Director of Development Arms Bumanlag directly at 519-791-6485.
