Around 60 golfers enjoyed the game on the windy but, nevertheless, warm and sunny afternoon. The annual golf tournament was hosted by Huron County's warden, Joe Steffler. The main aim of the event was to raise funds for a worthy cause as well as to provide local residents with an opportunity to network and socialize. This year the tournament was held in support of the Huron County Food Bank Distribution Centre (HCFBDC), an organization that acquires, stores and dis- tributes food to the food banks and aid agencies located within Huron County. The HCFBDC also works alongside the Huron County Health Unit. Last year the tournament was held in support of Habitat for Humanity Huron County, a non-profit, non-government, incorporated charitable organization dedicated to improving the lives of eco- nomically disadvantaged persons. Steffler and his team- mates, namely, his wife and treasurer of the Seaforth Food Bank, Lin, his son, John, and the secretary of the Seaforth Food Bank, Linda Kistner, teed off at 1 p.m. Wednesday, August 20, 2014 • News Record 9 and, despite it being his first game of the season, Steffler had a great first swing. Stef- fler, also the deputy mayor of the Municipality of Huron East, called the tournament a memorable one and thanks everyone for their support of the event.
