32nd Annual Memorial Golf Classic
In memory of Joe & Maria Melo and Liz Doyle
In support of the United Way serving KFL&A and the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation, the Melo Hotels Kingston ‘Memorial Golf Classic’ will tee off on Friday, Aug. 24, at the Loyalist Golf & Country Club. The format is a four person scramble with two shotgun starts at 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. followed by dinner and cocktails at the Ambassador Conference Resort at 7:00 p.m. Registration is $195/person and includes golf, cart, lunch at the Course, a buffet dinner at the Ambassador Conference Resort and a gift bag.
Previously known as the ‘Liz Doyle Memorial Golf Tournament’, a tribute to the Ambassador Conference Resort’s dedicated staff and friend Liz Doyle, the Memorial Golf Classic was re-named in 2010 to honour Joe & Maria Melo, founders of the Ambassador Conference Resort and Four Points by Sheraton Kingston.
“Over the last 31 years, this golf tournament has become a legend,” says Venicio Rebelo, vice president and general manager of the Ambassador Conference Resort and Four Points Hotel. “It’s a great way to keep their legacies alive. This event will appeal to everyone who has a friend to remember.” Rebelo is also the son-in-law of Joe & Maria Melo.
To register for the tournament, please contact Fatima Rebelo at 613-541-4677 or fatima_rebelo@ambassadorhotel.com. The entry fee must be received by August 10. All proceeds from the event will help support the United Way serving KFL&A and the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation.
Established in 1941, United Way serving KFL&A has worked to strengthen lives by bringing together the financial resources of the community – business, labour, individuals and government – in support of a network of social service and health agencies. Through these agencies and their programs, people find help and in many cases opportunity for a better life. Over 85,000 people in KFL&A received help last year from a United Way funded service.
