ARTA Annual Golf Tournament
The Edmonton Retired Teachers’ Association is
hosting the ARTA Annual Golf Tournament on
Thursday, June 6, 2019, at The Ranch Golf and
Country Club, five kilometres west of the Anthony
Henday West on Highway 16A and one kilometer
south on Pinchbeck Road.
The tournament is a fun-filled event for both
experienced and beginning golfers alike. The Texas
Scramble format will begin at 2:30 p.m. with a
shotgun start.
The $125 registration fee includes green fees, a
cart, an ARTA Golf Shirt, a bag lunch prior to tee
off, a gift bag, a delicious supper
after the game and numerous
prizes. Register as a team of four, three, two or
even as a single golfer. You will be partnered with
other golfers to form a team. All that is required is
that one golfer on the team be an ARTA member.
The golf course can accommodate 144 golfers. The
organizing committee is hoping for a great turnout.
Mark the date on your calendar. It promises to be
an enjoyable day. ●
Notes from Calgary
Linda Manwarren | President, CRTA
Ahh, is spring really coming? As
I write this, we are experiencing
a cold snap in Calgary. It’s lovely
to anticipate that by the time this
reaches you all, we will indeed be
warming up!
Since our last communication,
CRTA members and friends
have enjoyed several key events:
the annual Christmas trip to
Rosebud; the completion of one
series of art lessons and the start
of another; the annual Christmas
luncheon with CBEREA; a
two-part exploration with Mike
Boyes on enriching the retirement
experience; attendance at
the Broadway Across Canada
show, Come From Away; and a
celebration of art at the annual art
show, where very talented former

their masterpieces. One
of these talented teachers
is Rolande Parel who has
recently retired from the
CRTA Board Directors.
