All American Spiel Results
The All American Bonspiel resulted in 24 ladies sharing curling stories, an awareness of the role of the USWCA and meeting new women curlers of our club. A true spirit of curling! Congratulations to team "Stars" the winners of the event who received the USWCA All American pins. Team "Stars" was Marj Yalowicki, Kara McBroom, Suzanne Sowinska and Faye Alesse.
Thanks to Todd Schultz for taking care of the food.
Knock the Dust Off Results
The first ever Knock the Dust Off Spiel is in the books and it was a rousing success on all accounts. This spiel was designed as a direct response to the findings from the bonspiel participation and team formation research study last year. With 80 participants curling 80 games in 16 draws there was plenty of curling for all.
