Greetings from the Club President

I'm pleased to announce that to date we have over 10 teams/individuals that have taken on the act of giving to a disadvantaged youth through our "giving tree" program.  There are still five names left on the tree and I hope that we can get them done. REMEMBER: the wrapped gifts are due at the club on the 7th (this Friday).

We aren't doing quite as well on our Toys for Tots box where new, unwrapped, presents are left in the box to be distributed by the Salvation Army and The Marine Corp Reserve -- please donate to this as soon as you can.

Our Learn to Curls are off to a fantastic start thanks to Alyson, Andrea and the large group of volunteer instructors.  Thank you ---- this is important to the future of our Club.

Don't forget to stop by for the informal Christmas Party and ugly sweater contest going on at the Club on the 15th (Saturday at 1800 (6:00)).

Our biggest money maker of the year - the Leinies Spiel is only a month away.  We'll have a sign up genius available soon. And, hint hint, there are still a few slots left open for local team entries.

See you all at the Club!

Cheers, and Good Curling,

J. Todd Berg

President ECCC
