Good Morning

I'd like to thank the members of the Club who have spent so much of their time helping with the annual ice-in.  It's your work that gives us the ability to play our season.  For those of you who have not yet been able to get out to help with all the work we have left, please do so. Keep in mind that this is a Volunteer run Club.

The BIG NEWS for this week is our ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING that takes place this Thursday, 25 October, at the Club at 6:00pm. This meeting is open to all members and while theoretically mandatory for Convenors and Skips it is recognized that life holds a whole laundry list of responsibilities.  If you can't be there - please try to have a proxy there so that information can get disseminated.

We're in the home stretch - another season is about to begin.  Get out and help when you have time available.

Cheers, and Good Curling,

J. Todd Berg

President ECCC
