Greetings from the Club President

A huge thank you goes out to Alyson Wiedenbeck and her UWEC group for putting on a successful event this past weekend.  Well done!

That being said, there is a need for volunteer instructors and general help at the next series of Learn to Curls coming up (the next this very next Saturday - 17 November).  Look for "Sign up Genius" buttons coming up soon. 

While it's not even Thanksgiving yet, it's never too early to think of Christmas. Two events that are in the planning process (what that means in reality is that we have no idea how we're goin to do these yet --- BUT WE WILL), there will be a semi "impromptu" holiday gathering at the club on the evening of 15 December ---- times and details will follow soon.  Secondly, but not in order of importance, I'd like to suggest that we have some type of a Charity/Public Good Will event in this time coming up to the Christmas season. A few of us are meeting this Wednesday and will share ideas to be announced in the next two weeks.

I'll be out of town this coming Monday 19 November, but look for several announcements coming up on the 20th.

See you all at the Club!

 Cheers, and Good Curling,

J. Todd Berg

President ECCC
