December News – What’s Happening at the Amherst Curling Club?

Open House

Thanks to Chris Manuge for a job well done with organizing the Open House this year. Some new and many familiar faces were greeted by a group of friendly volunteers.

US Ladies Tour

Rhonda and Alice deserve a round of applause for hosting this terrific event. New friendships were made and both members and visitors provided some entertainment to spread good cheer.

Raffle Tickets

Great stocking stuffer idea! The sale of tickets supports Junior Curling. The draw is January 10, 2019 so time is getting short to sell the
remainder of tickets. Brian would appreciate your ticket stubs and cash ASAP.

Christmas Tree Gift Tags

The tree is decorated with Christmas tags with suggested gift ideas for the curling club. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.
