The Rotary Club of Belleville 613-968-6968 BURKE Funeral Home “A Reputation of Caring” 150 Church St. • Belleville The Rotary Club of Belleville For more information on Rotary, visit: www.rotary-belleville.org 199 Front St., Ste. 535, Century Place, Belleville, ON K8N 5H5 www.intelligencer.ca Those who know; always go – and you’re invited too Rotary Loves Kids Golf Tournament and Party in the Square – July 17 First, the Tourney – a free-for-all of fun for all Quick point: this is all about helping kids and having fun while we do it. How well you golf, or even if you can golf, is secondary. It’s a best ball tournament, so if you hook, slice, shank or lose your ball it hardly matters. If you’ve never golfed before, this is the best place to start. And you don’t have to enter a foursome – register alone, or with and a friend, and we’re happy to match you up with others. The day begins at 1:00 p.m. with a shotgun tee-off at Black Bear Ridge Golf Course and Trillium Wood Golf Club. You’ll enjoy 18 holes of golf and chances to win some outstanding prizes. There will also be a raffle featuring an array of specially selected items. Then, the Party – food, friends, music and more fun – how much can you take? Don’t golf? Don’t worry. Golfers and non-golfers come together in the evening as we take over Market Square for Party in the Square for live music, fabulous food, delicious libations and a whole host of activities designed for maximum fun. Feast on an outdoor barbeque by “Pig Out” and refreshments at the cash bar. You can even go shopping at the silent auction table featuring even more items so enticing they will tempt even the tightest of wads. The party kicks off at 7:30 p.m. with the Spencer Evans Band playing N’Awlins style jazz. Then at 9:00 p.m. The Getaway, one of the area’s most sought after party bands, takes the stage with their foot stompin`, butt shakin` and hand wavin` hits from the 60s-70s-80s & 90s. Event Co-Chairs, Rotarians Sam Brady and Greg Knudsen, have done everything humanly possible to take one of the area’s premier fun and fundraising events up yet another notch. “We never lose sight of the fact that the true goal of Rotary Loves Kids and Party in the Square is to raise funds the club can then invest in the youth of our community.” Sam Brady said. “But we’re determined to make it so much fun that people are genuinely excited to participate.” Greg Knudsen adds, “Since we started, 12 years ago, the Rotary Loves Kids Golf Tournament and Party in the Square have raised over $1,000,000 for children’s care in the Quinte area. We’re proud to have supported Easter Seals Camp Merrywood that helps kids with physical disabilities succeed; Quinte Children’s Foundation, whose vision is to improve the quality of life for local children who are at risk; and the Belleville General Hospital to help fund diagnostic equipment for children.” You don’t have to be a Rotarian – or even know one - to enjoy the day. Everyone who loves kids, has kids or ever was a kid, is welcome. If you’re new to the area this is a great opportunity to meet people and learn why it’s called the Friendly City. The entire day of golfing, dinner and the party is $150 per person. Dinner and dancing $35 per person and Party in the Square are only $10 per ticket in advance or $15 at the door. You can register online at www.rotary-belleville.org for the golf package or purchase tickets for the dinner and/or dance at BMO Downtown, Scotiabank Quinte Mall, Dewe’s Independent Grocer, Richard Davis, Belleville, the Belleville Chamber of Commerce and the Quinte Arts Council Gallery & Gift Shop.

Quinte Rotary Music Festival 2015 A week of music magic ends with historic finale For the first time in the 47 year history of the Quinte Rotary Music Festival, one performer earned four major prizes at the climactic Silver Trophy competition held last month in Belleville. Tabitha Savic (16) won the festival’s coveted Rose Bowl for voice, Silver Strings for strings (harp) and Silver Tray for piano and completed her sweep with the Joe Demeza prize for best overall performance of the competition. Adjudicators, who heard 113 competitors perform over 300 music pieces during the week-long festival, selected 10 top performers, a choral group and jazz band to compete at the Ontario Music Festivals Association provincial competition, held in Peterborough June 1 to 6. Tabitha Savic (voice, harp and piano), David Savic (voice), Jeanette Huang (violin and piano), Jenna Martinello and Aaron Yuan (piano), and Lynsey Corbin, Danielle Dettlinger, Andrew Powell, Dhalia Steinitz and Cynthia Ranjith (musical theatre) will represent Quinte at the provincial competition. Competing in the provincial recorded competition are the Quinte Youth Jazz Ensemble, and two divisions of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regional Chorus: the Quinte Youth Chorale, and the Quinte Children’s (Training) Choir. This year’s festival, sponsored by the Belleville, Trenton and Sunrise Rotary clubs, was held at six Belleville venues: Bridge Street, St. Matthew’s and Eastminster United Churches, St. Thomas Anglican, The Salvation Army Church, and Albert College. This year’s platinum level sponsor was Rotarian Rudy Heijdens, and our silver sponsor was Albert College.
