We are here today to honor and pay tribute to a wonderful gentleman in our midst. We are here to recognize the years of service and contribution that he has made to the Manitoba All Fours Association. He has always been there for us over the years, making sure the centre is available for us, preparing the room and having it ready at game time. . Morris has been there not only for the All Fours Association but also for the West Indian community and the society at large. He has spent many, many hours helping us with socials, Canada Day celebrations, bazaars and other activities we may have had. . Over the years he has developed a close bond with several members of the West Indian community, the most notable of which was his friendship with the late Roysie Sankar. . Morris, it is with great pleasure to have you with us today. On behalf of the Manitoba All Fours Association, it is indeed a privilege and honor, to present to you, as a token of our appreciation and a momento of our esteem this wonderful plaque. Mrs Rani Ramnarine, the wife of our president, will make this presentation. Also with us today is Morris' wife Violet to whom we will present these flowers. . . . Tribute to Morris & Violet Stefanec . Morris played a major role in the lives of the Caribbean people, both as a dear friend and the caretaker of the Norwood Community Centre. It was no secret that, whenever there was a function put on by West Indians, nine out of ten times it was held at 'The Norwood'. . Over the years Morris treated us courteously and respectfully and has handled all of our events and functions in a very diligent and professional manner. We were very fortunate to have someone like him. Morris remained everyone's friend and was someone you can rely upon to help in any situation. . From 1994 to 2013, Morris took great care of the Manitoba All Fours Association giving us that extra hour from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to lime and to have a last beer or two. It would certainly have been nice if Morris had learned the game of All Fours and played for one of the teams. . All in all, Morris is someone who is very caring, easy going and understanding of our culture and ways. We will never forget the many wonderful memories Morris has given us over the years. Thank you Morris for being there for us always. You will be a brother (fellow Trinidadian) in our minds and hearts forever. .  .. . Relaxing After The Work Is Done...Great Job, Guys.... Special Thank You To The Golf Committee For Doing Such A Fantastic Job .... Thank You To The Owner, Ed Waluk .  .. . Big Thank You To Peter Albert & His Team For Arranging & Helping Out With This Tournament. . . Our sponsors supported us more than we expected. We wish to thank them for their contributions. . LETTER SENT TO SPONSORS . Dear Sponsor: . The Manitoba All Fours would like to thank you for your generous donation to our annual golf tournament held June 11th, 2017. . The weather on Sunday was co-operative and perfect for golfing. Sponsors signs were displayed all over the golf course and gratitude to all of our sponsors was expressed during dinner time and throughout the evening ceremonies. . Your donation will help us to offset some of our travel and accommodation costs when competing with Alberta for the annual Western Canadian Championship. It will also assist us in covering some of our operating costs during the 2017/2018 regular season. . From the proceeds of our silent auction, 50-50, mulligan contest and putting contest we were able to set aside funds to give to a charitable organization as a donation. We have selected the Cancer Care Foundation as this year's recipient. . Please find enclosed a copy of our game day brochure acknowledging your name/company as a sponsor, a picture of your sign on the golf course and a receipt for your donation. We will continue to carry your ad on our website for the next three months. . Once again, we thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity. . Sincerely, . Khemraj Ramnarine, MAA President

. . . . Whatever happened to Mikyla Albert who won the Family Day tournament (winning ten out of eleven games) way back in 2011 with playing partner Uncle Mikey. Remember her?.....That cute little girl who went on to do a school project about the game of All Fours and who received a perfect score of 100% for her effort. Of course you do. .  .. . Well guess what? Our girl has blossomed over the last 5 years and has become the Manitoba top female golfer for her age bracket. Just last year alone Mikyla won a total of 5 MJT (Manitoba Junior Tournaments) events of the season in the under-15 girls division. . Listed below are her 2016 accomplishments:- . - Mikyla won her first tournament of the year on May 14-15. Her dad, Peter, got a weekend.pass from the St. Boniface Hospital to watch her play and was wheel-chaired around the course. This was a very emotional tournament for her. She persevered throughout the entire game and in the end she dedicated the win to him. .  .. . - She won her second tournament on July 7-8 and closest to the pin. . - On July 25-26 she won her third tournament at Selkirk Golf & Country Club. ..  .. . - August 15-16 she won her 4th tournament as well as closest to the pin. . - On August 23-24 she won her 5th tournament at Transcona Champion of Champions and ..with a torn abductor muscle which happened during the Manitona Summer Games (won a ..Bronze medal at these games). . . Winning the 13-14 age tier - Junior women's provincial championship . Other information about her:- . She helps teach golf for kids at the Inwood golf course on Mondays giving back to the community. She is also helping new players in the women's league. Amazing stuff, isn't it? Recently she received an invitation to practice with Golf Manitoba to qualify for the Canada summer games this year. . . In addition to golf, she finds time to play basketball and other sports. This year she played on the junior varsity basketball school's team, the Selkirk Royals. They finished the year with a 9 - 1 record. . In 2015, she played junior high with the Selkirk Suns and the team went undefeated. She was the game MVP. . On the side she coaches junior high basketball and is always willing to give of herself to benefit others. . . We at the MAA are so proud of her. In our books she is the prime example of what a shining star should be. We know her parents and her family think the world about her and are highly pleased with her accomplishments. Perhaps one day we might get to see her back in the MAA with her dad, playing for his team Jump & Wave. . Speaking on behalf of the entire MAA membership, we would like to wish her all the best in her future endeavours. . Come out to the MAA tournament on June 11, 2017 and meet Mikyla and enjoy a great day of golf with her. ..  .. . April 2017 . Thanks Edmonton! Thanks Calgary! What a wonderful All Fours tournament! We enjoyed ourselves, we had fun and we had comradery. Team Manitoba is very thankful for the reception we received. It was a great tournament. While the competition was fierce, especially during the second half, we all had a wonderful time. The food was tasty, the friendship was great and we were all made to feel welcome. The Manitoba ladies and the Calgary ladies visited with each other and had a great time. While victory for Manitoba was good we felt for Alberta. They were not able to take any trophies. Better luck next time Team Alberta. . Our next step is the MAA Classic -- a fund raising Golf Tournament. Our goal is to raise funds to help reduce cost next year. Towards this end we are asking for full support and co-operation of all teams and everyone involved. We especially need help in seeking sponsors (for holes) and prizes. . In closing let me say thanks to all teams and captains. We had a clean and enjoyable season. Let us continue working, let us have fun too and let us build for the future. . Respectfully, . Khemraj Ramnarine . TEAM MANITOBA. . Team Manitoba has done it again. The final score was 134 - 119. Manitoba has swept all of the individual trophies. In 30 years of competition Manitoba has won the WCC Cup 28 times. . . Retaining the Western Canadian Championship Trophy . Total Bullseyes 1st Half .......
