Our 2016 PAO Championship, held September 24 – 25 at the Markham Pan Am Centre was a HUGE success. Over 250 players took part in the event with many first time Tournament participants and the ‘regular’ tournament players attending. We are working to organize pictures and video of the event for release in a full newsletter very soon.
However, before too much time passes – we wanted to extend a special THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who made this event successful. I don’t have a list of all of the volunteers – and to ensure that I don’t leave any name out – I am simply going to extend our gratitude to anyone who helped in any way. This includes referees, floor runners, gym marshals, food preparers and delivery, registration table help, score sheet verification and data entry, set up / clean up / take down help and anyone else who made this such a special event.
The strength of any organization comes from the members – and the PAO is blessed to have such a great group of people promoting our favorite sport and moving forward in a common cause. I personally was impressed with how smooth events ran and the smiles on all faces while they went about their tasks.
Thank you.
