Meet the members of the Lung Transplant Open planning committee.
We look forward to the challenge of making the 2012 event the best yet.
We will miss our former members Carol and Merv, but look forward to seeing them on the day of the event!
We wanted to acknowledge them and all that they brought to the table in the years they helped out. Especially Merv, who was one of the founders of this spectacular event.

Kim is a transplant recipient herself, and was one of the founders of this tournament.
Kim's boundless energy and enthusiam and passion for this event is one of the reasons that we have had such success.
We love having our meetings at Kims, she is a chef by trade so there are always scrumptious morcels to be enjoyed. |

| Tracey (TJ) Jack-Tobin |
TJ joined the committee in 2006. Her father Al (seen in the photo here with TJ at her wedding this past July) is a double lung transplant recipient and is, in April eight years post transplant. She joined the committee to help to grow this event and to help give back to the foundation that gave her back her father.
With a background in event planning and her motto of "if you dont ask you wont get" she has helped to grow the tournament. She looks forward to this event growing and getting better every year. |

| Mark Tobin |
Mark joined our committee in 2008 and has brought some fantastic new ideas. Marks connection to our tournament is his wife TJ. He also feels very strongly about giving back to the foundation that saved his father in laws life.
Mark's calm presence has been beneficial (especially to TJ) as things get hectic leading into tournament day. |

| Rob Bellefeuille |
Rob joined our committee in 2008, but that is not where his involvement with our tournament began. As a memeber of the Mississauga Meadowvale Lions club, Rob has always been a huge supported of the LTO. Not only has he run a contest on one of the holes at each years tournament, he has, with the Lions club, matched the monies raised throughout the contest.
Now as part of the committee he brings many years of experience with golf and charity events. We are grateful for his help. |

| Mary Devlin |
Mary joined our committee in 2008. Being an avid golfer and contributor to many different charity events, Mary has brought many new exciting ideas.
Mary and her husband Dale are huge supporters of the LTO - being Platinum sponsor the past two years and bringing a number of other sponsors and golfers.
Mary and Dale are cousins of the tournament founder Peter Laurence and we are so happy that Mary joined us in the "official" capacity of committee member. |

| Lee Laforest |
Lee joined our committee in 2010. She is niece to Al Jack, transplant recipient, and cousin to TJ. Lee has brought a lot of experience in fundraising and planning social events. Her energy and enthusiasm is boundless - which is especially great the day of the event. She is a master at organizing the Silent Auction and for that we are truly grateful. Lee definitely goes out of her way to participate - she drives all the way from Barrie for our meetings. |
