PARTNER SPOTLIGHT - MAUI JIM SUNGLASSES  
Now the fastest growing premium polarized sunglass maker in the world, Maui Jim got its start in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii.

For those who appreciate the sun, Maui Jim provides more of the vibrant colours of the wo rld while protecting your eyes from the harsh effects of glare and harmful rays. Their philosophy at Maui Jim is to treat others the way they'd like to be treated. To them, every customer is a member of their 'ohana (family), and they treat them with Aloha and respect. 
 
It's the type of services that gives "Welcome to colour" a new meaning. "Your World. See the Brilliance" is what Maui Jim is all about. For more information, please click here.

FACT OF THE WEEK 
It's never too early to start putting money aside for your annual membership dues. PGA of Canada Members have options on payment plans for their Annual Dues. The two most common ways are to contact Darcy Kral at the National Office by email at darcy@pgaofcanada.com or by phone 1.800.782.5764 to set up a prepaid invoice.
