 "Investing
in young people is an investment in the future," says Geza Kocsis, owner
of Chippewa Golf & Country Club.
As a former educator, Kocsis knows first-hand how expensive it is for
students to continue with an education after graduating high-school.
"These young people need all the assistance they can get," he adds.
"There are all kinds of bursaries out there but most are for $50, $75
and $100. That's why I came up with the idea of holding an "Invest in
the Future, Invest in Young People", golf tournament to raise money for
scholarships. The money will go help local students in our local high
school who are going on to further education, be it academic or in the
trades."

In partnership with Ian Cummings of Crabby Joe's
Restaurant in Port Elgin, Chippewa will be hosting a golf tournament
this weekend, Saturday, October 11th.
"We thought it appropriate to hold it on Thanksgiving weekend," explains
Kocsis. It's a time when all of us should be giving thanks to be
fortunate enough to live in this community and by helping the kids who
are its future."
The day will include 18 holes of golf, with a cart, lunch and a steak
dinner buffet for only $50 per person plus a $10 donation toward the
scholarship fund. "This is normally a $120 event, but we only want to
cover our costs on this one," says Kocsis. "It's also a fun,
four-person, best ball event. If even if someone isn't a golfer, it's
still a chance to come out and have fun, dinner and help students at the
same time."
