We are keeping Lou's Legacy AliveThe Windsor Essex County Senior Sports Organization (WECSSO) was formed in the |
|||||
| late 1980's as a sports organizing body for a senior slowpitch league. Today the organization | |||||
| continues to thrive and remains a hotbed for local senior's to enjoy comraderie and sports. | |||||
| Lou Dupuis was a long time member and proponent of WECSSO and wanted to do something | |||||
| special for our local area underpriveldged kids. Lou was an accomplished athlete himself, | |||||
| and bowling was his forte. He was voted Windsor's Bolwer of the year back in 1971, a four | |||||
| time Molson Masters champion and was voted into the Windsor Chatham Essex Kent Bowling | |||||
| Association Hall of Fame in 1988. | |||||
| Lou Dupuis was an organizer and realized that he could leveredge his organizing talent to | |||||
| help underpriveledged kids play sports. Lou had many friends and it didn’t take him long | |||||
| to assemble an army to help him. Over the past 10 years, WECSSO has ammased nearly | |||||
| $60,000 from this event and the organization is proud of the fact that 100% of this money | |||||
| has went to helping kids play. | |||||
| Each year the WECSSO executive committee receives applications for funding from various | |||||
| local organizations and last years recepients included: | |||||
| Windsor Police Community Services Branch | |||||
| Sandwich Teen Action Group | |||||
| WEC Special Stars Soccer League | |||||
| Riverside Floor Hockey | |||||
| Forest Glade Baseball League | |||||
| Windsor-Essex Therapeutic Riding Association | |||||
| Forest Glade Optimist Club | |||||
| Lou worked tirelessly in making this event a success for the kids, but just as important to Lou | |||||
| was making this event fun and affordable for the participants. The prize table has always been | |||||
| outstanding, thanks to the support of local businesses (hundreds of prizes are received each year). | |||||
