IT WAS a tremendous
turnout of celebrities on

. Wednesday night at Rey
Lisogar’s Century Plaza
Hotel as they hosted the Sth
annual Ladies’ Media Golf
Classic.

This is a yearly benefit hosted
by the Century Plaza for the Za-
jac Foundation, which assists
needy charities for children and is
the big push behind the soon-to-
open B.C. Neurological Centre.

In 1989 when the inaugural
tournament was established, the
tourney raised $3000.

In 1990, the celebrity golfers
raised $23,000 arid last year they

-made an amazing £451,000.
Money like this doesn’t come
. from wishing. It comes from a lot
'. of hard slugging and selling and
dedicated committee work by
, thoroughly professional volun-
teers.

Hotel vice-president and new

mum Wendy Lisogar-Cocchia has
been the driving force behind this
worthwhile project since its incep-
_tion, with a lot of help from
friends like Gale Honey, Gloria
Macarenko and regular auctioneer
Phil Reimer.

And Wednesday was a perfect
day for golf out at Richmond’s
Greenacres Golf Club, with about

150 female swingers taking part.

- The dinner followed in the
-hotel’s Grand Ballroom where
Wendly’s husband Sergio Cocchia,
the hotel’s food & beverage man-
ager, had arranged a gourmet
feast for the famished femmes ...
