Golf Day for Literacy '98
Memories of the "Ice Storm of 98" are being replaced with thoughts of "Golf Day for Literacy 98." Plans are underway, and the day is shaping up to be another great one.

LPQ is pleased to be hosting the '98 tournament in partnership with The Centre for Literacy. Proceeds from this year's event have been designated for projects in Health and Literacy at the Montreal General and Jewish General Hospitals and for Family Literacy in Quebec.

We look forward to another great day with the tremendous support of Dennis Trudeau and the rest of our friends at CBC. For the third consecutive year, we are returning to the elegant Cedarbrook Golf Club in Ste. Sophie in the Laurentians where the service, the golf course and the ambiance have been impeccable.

Plan to join us at Cedarbrook on Monday, May 25. For information about how you can participate, please call the LPQ office.
