Speakers: Christopher Hawke and Melissa Robinson

   Introduced by Frank A.

 They are from Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLS&E).

 Chris has been with them since 2017 and Melissa has been involved since 2015.

 Their current focus is the Toronto Argonauts, one of the oldest sport franchises in Canada dating back to the late 1800’s, when they were the Toronto Rowing Club.

 The Argonauts, over the years, have won 17 Grey Cubs, the most in Canadian football history.

 The MLS&E is working very closely with Rotary District 7070 to sponsor a Youth Leadership Day on September 28, 2019, the day the Argos play the Sask Roughriders.

 Before the game they plan to speak to 100 GTA youths about Leadership Skills, such as sales, marketing and other key current topics.

These youth are from grades 9 to 12 in the GTA. The cost is $70 per youth. To date they have 87 signed up and are looking for at least 13 more to fill the group. Our club can put some names forward to the extent we can come up with candidates in the near future.

In addition, we as Rotarians are invited to attend this game as well for a special price. We will all be seated in the same general location. Tickets cost $49 per person with $10 going to Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio. Peter M. just forwarded to us all further details if you wish to attend the game on Saturday, September 28, 2019. If interested you can contact Chris Hawke at Christopher.hawke@mlse.com. He can also be reached at 416-815-5352.

The MLS&E has been sponsoring this over the last couple of years and Chris and Melissa have recently visited 7 Rotary Clubs in the District asking for their support.

Our very interesting speakers were thanked by Alan M.

The more likely he is to share his ideas about your golf swing.

The only difference between a one-dollar ball and a three-dollar ball is two dollars.

My uncle, who has golfed all his life, has his own definition of the word G.O.L.F.: Getting Old and Living Fine!

Go back and take it up at a much earlier age.

What do golf and sex have in common?

They're two things you can enjoy even if you're bad at both of them.
