The First Annual Rona Potvin Memorial Dart Tournament was GREAT ! ~ Not only was there great times shared by all ~ but they { we all } were able to raise a little over $160 to go towards the local families that Rona had for many, many years - somewhat secretly - donated money { so children could have presents under the tree} and made food baskets for them for Xmas dinner . With such a wonderful cause from an even more wonderful Lady ~ everyone really pulled together to make this happen ! Thanks goes out to Mark Blake whom allowed us to have it at his establishment Champions Sports Champions Bar , Dan McKeown , president of The S**o River Dart League , Don Leclair for MC;ing the event and having to work it more than play , and all the other dart members for showing up ! There are simply too many to even begin to mention ~ let alone everyone that just showed up for support ! ~ My only 'little' regret is we didn't start taking pictures til about 6 hours into the event ~~~ DEFIANTLY will be a priority on next years event ! Debra Lariviere ( Potvin) , 1 of Rona's daughters was there to except the check and Brenda Potvin Keating was there via cell phone ~~~ but most of all , Rona's spirit ~ that touched so many hearts .... was not just the reason for the gathering , but a reflection of just how many souls she could bring together and made us feel like family ..... :') { and this was just dart players! } You will always be with us Rona , the impact you made on us will remain timeless ~ ♥ ~ — at Champions Sports Bar.
