The Rotary Club of
Orillia
 
Chartered 1945

Last Tuesday was a great day for our Rotary Golf Day. Joe Gileo (spouse of Erika Gileo), Kirsten Ross and her spouse Marc Chevalier were the top dogs of 2026 Rotary Golf Tournament held at Bonaire Golf Course. With a score of +1 they managed to squeak out the top spot.  Other honourable mentions were Jennifer Hiltz- Kane, Janet Sweeny and their 2 guests who won the “Most Honest” team award. Thanks to Grant and Mario for organizing!
