Things are going great with the "Curling Into the Future" Capital Campaign and club improvement projects. To date we've raised almost $50,000 in pledges of our $125,000 goal. We've paid for the renovation of the clubroom, made our down payment on the new plant, and haven't had to go to the bank yet. There is much more work to be done though. We have received many $500, $1,000, $2,500, and $3,000 pledges and donations. We even have 2curlers so far to have pledged $5,000 to the projecty! If you have pledged, thank you! If you haven't yet, please review the materials we sent to you at the beginning of the summer and consider investing in the future of our club. For more information contact Andy VanDam at 844-6594.
In September on Tuesday nights. We haven't had regularly scheduled work nights this summer because of the tremendous amount of work being done in the clubroom and in the back room to ready the club for the new plant. We have a good number of small projects that need to be finished as we get ready for the start of our news season. Please make an effort to come out to the club beginning at 6:30 pm every Tuesday night starting in September.
Novmber 13 and 15 at 7:00pm. The classes will be taught by Keven and Sue Meacham.
Coming to Grand Forks, ND in the spring of 2008. This event will create numerous opportunities for members of our club to get involved by volunteering to help. More information will be available soon.

Has requested that our annual bonspiel be named "The Vern Turner Memorial Bonspiel". The family is prepared to purchase a permanent trophy and display case for the Bonspiel. Also, they intend to enhance the payouts for winning teams and cover the next year's entry fee for the 1st event champions each year of the bonspiel. A discussion and vote on this will occur at the September 10th board meeting. Please come to the meeting with any questions or concerns or speak to a board member.
