President’s Message:
Hello Curlers, Welcome back!
Events
The annual yard sale, which is normally held in June, was held on the Aug 1st long weekend and was a very successful fundraiser for the club! And the annual golf tournament made its return this year and was held on Aug 28th – another successful event that allowed members and friends to get out and participate in a fun activity.
The Annual General meeting and Board elections will be held on Sunday September 19th at 2pm. As half of the Board is up for election each year, there are a number of Board positions that are opening up this year and we are looking for members to step up and fill the gap. Many thanks and appreciation to the Board members that are ending their terms this year. We have a new league convenor for Monday night league this upcoming season; welcome aboard Val Marshall. And we would like to welcome back Rick Barnard as our Ice Maker as we look forward to another great year of curling.
Club Improvements
Last year saw the completion of the basement bathroom renovations, giving the club’s bathrooms a much needed update as well as A/C for lounge area. This renovation was made possible due to a grant and we would like to thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
This summer, we were able to add ducting for the over-ice dehumidifier which will help to keep the air flow away from the ice surface and we replaced the header piping which was rusting and at risk of failure. This summer’s improvements were made possible due to a New Horizons for Seniors grant and we would like to thank the Federal Government.
League Fees
We have been able to maintain our league fees for the last couple of curling seasons without an increase due to successful fundraising activities. And generous donations from members for last year really helped us to keep the lights on when fundraising was not possible. As we have been limited in the amount of fundraising events we could hold this year, we have had to introduce a modest increase to the league fees (see the League Info section for further detail).
The Board is looking forward to welcoming you all back this season. And we hope to see you at the AGM and Registration on September 19th.
Stay safe.
Lin Walker
