From tee to green in a good cause

The New Quarterly,which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary, has always had a friend in centenarian Edna Staebler (left), one-time magazine journalist, author, famous as a cookbook writer (Food That Really Schmecks and More Food That Really Schmecks), well-known for her generosity to arts organizations. Now, Staebler is lending her name to the Edna Staebler Golf Classic, a fundraiser for TNQ, which will publish its 100th issue later this year.

"Grants and subscriptions cannot bear the entire cost of publishing this consistently high quality magazine," said the TNQ letter, announcing the tournament. "Fund-raising is a necessity and we need your help."

A single golfer pays $125, a foursome $500, which includes dinner. Part of that cost is tax receiptable. It's a very forgiving brand of "best ball" golf, so even rank duffers would have a good time. Non-golfers can pay $45 to have dinner at the Grey Silo Golf Course in Waterloo, Ontario and enjoy the fun and the silent auction.
