Curling School at Evergreen CC

March 9, 2014 - 2:41pm -- Doug Potter

Steve Liske tells us: Curling school will be in session at ECC April 4-6, and we couldn't be more excited about it. A terrific group of three very accomplished Canadian curlers/instructors, led by Renee Sonnenberg, will be providing all of the instruction. I met Renee at Four Foot Camp in 2013 - she's a great instructor and an even better person. The school takes place over three days, and is aimed at curlers with at least one year of experience. I bet some of your members would really enjoy it.
