Dear Grapevine Readers,

By the time this issue hits the press, I will be off on my maternity leave. I’d like to introduce Nicole Collard to all of you who will be looking after the Grapevine Column. For those of you who have yet to meet Nicole, she will be a great addition to the RECORDER team. Nicole is on the sales team at Divestco, so many of you in the geophysical community have met her. Nicole herself will be in France for the month of October finishing her MBA program. I’m sure she will be looking for newsworthy items to include in the November issue. Wine and cheese bribes will likely be taken!

WiSE Golf Tournament a Big Success

The 4th Annual WiSE (Women in Seismic) Golf Tournament, which was held on Wednesday, August 18th, 2004 at Lakeside Greens Golf & Country Club, was a huge success this year with a turnout of 128 players. The tournament, which was previously known as the longest round at Lakeside Greens, actually finished in 5 and a half hours this year. There were 3 winning teams but organizers said everyone was a winner due to the extreme generosity of the sponsors and prize donors. Sandy Ulevog was thrilled with the success of the tournament and wanted to reiterate her thanks and appreciation for the generosity of those who contributed in so many ways.

Divestco Hosted its 5th Annual Client Appreciation Golf Tournament

Divestco hosted their 5th Annual golf tournament this year at Heritage Point Golf Course on August 5th, 2004. The sold out event hosted over 200 clients to yet another great golf round. The tournament has yet to complete a round in the last 2 years due to the hailstorms that run through our province. At least this year we made it through 17 holes of golf! This year the charity selected was Sunshine Dreams for Kids. Due to the incredible generosity of the players, we officially raised $8,240 for a truly worthy cause. Divestco would like to thank all of those who attended and look forward to next year’s tournament.
