The Voice of North Grenville

Events don’t happen without generous sponsors
The North Grenville Times is Locally Owned and Operated L-R: Steve & Sylvie Jonsson, Samantha Rivet-Stevenson, Jim Dolan, Title sponsor representative Judie Dillman and Co-Chair Bill White. It is obvious in any sport that without teams willing to participate in your event, it is impossible to play host. But without sponsors willing to put their cold hard cash on the line, the events just won't happen. For ten years the North Grenville Curling Club has been the proud hosts of the Royal LePage OVCA Women's Fall Classic. The event might have had a short life if Royal LePage Team Realty and Gale Real Estate, two independently owned and operated brokerage offices in the Ottawa and Kemptville areas,
had not decided to step in as Title sponsor in year three of the event. Their continued support along with the support of so many local individual and business sponsors has enabled this event to become one of the biggest Non-Grand Slam women's curling events in Canada east of the Toronto area. Co-Chair Jim Dolan, a member of the NGCC, noted that this year a couple of larger dollars sponsors stepped aside, but it did not surprise him when three local sponsors came forward to support the event: Samantha-Rivet Stephenson, a
Financial Planner with RBC Financial Planning; Country Walk by Urbandale Construction, an adult lifestyle community in the heart of Kemptville; and Jonsson’s Independent Grocer, owned by Steve and Sylvie Jonsson. Jim said: “It makes you proud to live in a community like North Grenville. The support of the local businesses and individuals has allowed this event to literally bring the world of curling to our community”. International teams from Switzerland, Sweden, Scotland, Great Britain, Russia, Japan and the United States

have played in the event. Last year the event even had three male legends of the game present – Russ Howard, Glenn Howard and Mike Harris, who were coaches of three of the women’s teams. Jim is a man of many words and when he says you just can’t thank the sponsors enough he really means it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Sponsors and Supporters of the Fall Classic for allowing us to showcase to the world all that makes our small town a great place to live – our spirit and our support.
