Mary Jane Maffini Events
OTTAWA ON Thursday, May 22. Loch March Golf & Country Club. Tournament Poet Laureate. The Ottawa Community Coalition for Literacy (a wonderful and effective organization) hosts this annual fundraising golf tournament. It is one of the tournaments founded by Peter Gzowski and is called the PGI Golf Tournament for Literacy. In 2008 they will be hosting the 20th tournament at the Loch March Golf & Country Club. There are 15 PGIs across the country and by the end of this golf season they had collectively raised $10 million over the years. In 2007 the Ottawa group netted $48,000 from their tournament. One of the unique features of the PGIs is the tournament poet laureate. At the dinner program, I'll read a poem I'll have written in honour of the day. Naturally, that means murder.
