The amiable front man for the ASHoF noted that his organization is going to \u201ccelebrate its tenth anniversary this year\u201d and is \u201claser-focused on our 2023 events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these gustatory delights and developments, the Cornerstone Committee announced that the First Annual Aurora Sports Hall of Fame Celebrity Golf Tournament will take place at Pheasant Run GC on the longest day of the year:  Wednesday, June 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural event is 40% sold out and May 15th is the last day to secure the Early Bird Public Rate of $250, which covers greens fees, cart, BBQ dinner, and a celebrity round table discussion. Tournament rates will jump to $300 per golfer on May 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurora Mayor Tom Mrakas provided greetings remotely from the municipal meetings he was attending in Ottawa. By video link, Mayor Mrakas extolled the good deeds done annually by the ASHoF, thanked them publicly for \u201cpromoting and recognizing excellence in sport,\u201d and praised the organization\u2019s \u201cdedication, common trust, and genuine love of sport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khan closed the meeting by repeating earlier requests for more residents to come forward to volunteer for Hall of Fame committee work.  He noted afterwards that he was pleased with \u201cthe attendance at the meeting, the diversity of the group assembled, and the abundance of youthful members from GW Williams HS and St. Maximilian Kolbe CHS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president also pointed out the importance of the inaugural Golf Tournament as a \u201cmeans of raising funds to help with the organization\u2019s educational initiatives and to donate to a charity group that will be determined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was, indeed, an evening of good news items at the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame\u2019s AGM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
