On Tuesday September 12th, R.I.B.A. once again held its annual event in Windsor, Ontatio. Some would call it a golf event, but I would like to refer to it as an “opportunity” for our members to mingle with various manufacturers, distributors and of course our team. This year’s event proved to be one of our best, according to comments I’ve received from attendees, as we included sampling from Brew Microbrewery, Canada Bread, Colchester Ridge Estate Winery, Jack Daniel’s, Kavi Reserve, Pepsi Beverages Company, Sleeman Breweries and Steam Whistle Brewing on the course.
Golfers had a gorgeous day to take on the forgiving, yet picturesque Ambassador Golf Club, the event went off without a hitch. Kudos to Chef Daniele from Ambassador for a wonderful lunch and dinner.
A big thank you to Erie Meats for the sausages, hamburgers and peameal which was served at lunch
Once again, I would like to thank everyone who participated and shared in the festivities. Caesars Windsor proved to be a stellar property for our guest accommodations.
In recognition of the importance of our members and how the manufacturers, distributors and R.I.B.A. value their participation within the program, the prize table included fifty inch 4k UltraHD T.V.s, a thirty two inch T.V., numerous tablets, coffee machine, drones, headphones, donated gifts from Mercedes Benz and Burnbrae, etc.
During the day, there was also a 50/50 draw, which saw three participants split some cash, as well as drive the new Corvette or Escalade golf cart for the round. R.I.B.A.'s gifts included a Roots t-shirt, plus the newly designed high end golf cap.
We would like to congratulate all of our winners!
If you didn’t take advantage of this year’s tournament, make sure to include it in your next year’s agenda, as it will be our 17th Annual Invitational Tournament!
You do not have to be a great golfer – All you have to do is have some fun! We hope to see everyone again next year.
Thank you to those who have already reserved their spot for 2018.
