Chamber tourney a successful collaboration
The annual Turn Copper into Gold Golf Tournament was another successful collaboration of the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce (CVCC) and the Radium Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce (RHSCC).
The May 15 event, hosted at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort’s Mountainside Golf Course, was the 15th annual for the CVCC and the first time the RHSCC participated.
As usual the event was sold out and raised approximately $23,000 to be shared between the two organizations. But the real success is the fun members have and the opportunity to connect with fellow members.
