for being a little late on the October newsletter. As you might guess, we are having a very busy fall getting ready for the upcoming curling season. Our major renovation projects have gone very well this summer with our new plant being installed. The electrical work is being finished and the new plant should be fired up within a week. Flooding will begin on October 25 th. The club room has received a major face lift. You won’t believe your eyes when you see it. Thanks to Ron Windloss, Viggo Thomsen, Mike Nustad, Tom Flynn, Bob Fick, Bruce Besse, Dave Langworthy, Rae Windloss, and Tom Mack for all of their hard work in getting this accomplished. With insulation going in before curling begins, all the projects of Phase 1 will be complete by the start of the season.

  Capital Campaign Update
Things are going great with the “Curling Into the Future” Capital Campaign and club improvement projects. To date we’ve raised roughly half of our $125,000 goal. We’ve got a ways to go so please pledge your financial support to secure the future of our club.

  Work nights have been happening
On Tuesday nights, we have a number of projects that need to be wrapped up before curling begins. Stop out to the club on a Tuesday night beginning at 6:30 and lend a hand.
