ITR 2007 WINTER • 7 Alumni Golf Tournament: A Hole in One for Bursaries

rent alumni and other golfers Tgathered at the Port Hope Golf Club on September 16, 2006 to The 2006 Tournament winners: Miles Ecclestone ‘72, John Casserly ‘72, enjoy a day of golf, fellowship, Tom Phillips ‘74, and Brian McGregor ‘66. and the great outdoors. They also gathered to strengthen bursary support for student athletes at Trent. Thanks to the generosity of golfers, donors, hole sponsors, and the matching funds opportunity presented by the Ontario Trust for Student Support, it is expected that the PSB Wilson Bursary Fund will benefi t student athletes to the tune of approximately $20,000. Tony Storey, director of alumni affairs, paid tribute to lead sup- porters Peter Sidgwick ‘77, Wellington West Clearsight, and TD Meloche Monnex in shap- ing the strong results. Tony also described why the Alumni Golf Tournament is one of his favourite events of the year: “It is a splendid outdoor day in a gorgeous lakeside setting. The tournament honours Paul Wilson, Trent’s immensely popular and respected former director of ath- letics. It also fulfi lls the Alumni Association’s commitment to fostering community and is a key philanthropic activity for the ath- letics and recreation program.” This year’s tournament is sched- uled for Saturday, September 15, 2007. All members of the Trent community are welcome to take part. For more information, contact Alumni Affairs at (705) 748- 1399 or [email protected]. TRENT MAGAZINE 8 • Trent Alumni Leading the Way

The provincial governments’s Ontario Trust for Student Support (OTSS) is providing a dollar-for-dollar match for gifts to endowment to provide financial assistance to Ontario college and university students.

· Endowed funds are held permanently and invested prudently · The principal remains intact and provides long-term sustainability · Interest earned annually is awarded to students with proven financial need · These permanent funds will ease the financial burden for our future leaders

Gifts of all sizes are welcomed and will be eligible for a receipt for tax purposes.

There are opportunities to name a separate endowed fund at half the minimum threshold because of the matching gift.
