Bonners Ferry SWISH reins officially handed over
April 24, 2011
Anita Woods and Brett Brown present a check to this year's Bonners Ferry SWISH organizer, Rotary member Ron Sukenik.
There doesn't appear to be any lack of enthusiasm when you hear from Ron Sukenik, who has taken charge of the new SWISH with a vengence.

He is gathering information and making assignments to ensure a smooth transition from the Bonners Ferry SWISH organization to Bonners Ferry Rotary.

The Rotary was requested to strongly consider this merger because the former organization felt that Rotary was the best resource in the community to take on the challenges of the 3 on 3 basketball tournament. They also were comfortable knowing that Rotary would deliver the finished product and that funds realized from this event would be going back to the community.

Brett Brown and Anita Woods made it official at the meeting on April 19 by presenting a check to Rotary in the amount of $6,995.47, representing the proceeds from the first three years of the tournament.

Since 2008, the event that started under the leadership of Brett Brown, and was carried forward last year by Brad Holifield. In 2010, the event drew more than 300 players from the Inland Northwest including Canada.

Brochures and the registration packet for the July 16-17, 2011, SWISH can be accessed through the event's website, www.bfswish.com, or through the Rotary website, www.bonnersferryrotary.com.
